I mentioned earlier, that I had problems with UPS and a Program Plus sent as
a 'Gift'. Also that I had sent it back. The seller, re-sent it via USPS (In
the same packaging, but marked as a 'used camera' value $100, and I paid no
duty(Customs had opened it),What a difference to the $100+ charges
The SMC A 70-210 f4 i bought from a list member
from the states did not get hit for any
taxes,duty etc.Propapbly my free introduction
offer from USPS and Canada Post :)
