I agree... unless you are in a desperate hurry to see your precious buys, don't use UPS or DHL or Fedex... They are such good friends with the custom services that they declare everything and everything... I do prefer the postal services much much more than those bloody services. I've only waited just over a week to get my lens from Canada to Taiwan.

I have heard endless horror stories about their 'service'. My experience was typical - I won an old Rolleicord on ebay from a seller in Florida. I paid him US$14 to ship via USPS, but thinking he was doing me a favour he shipped using UPS. When it arrived here in Ontario I was presented with a bill for an additional CA$48 for their wonderful brokerage 'service'. I have a friend who has bought several times from B&H using their 'Express Mail' shipping option. The items have been delivered by Purolator and they did not charge any additional fees (including no GST or PST). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Widall, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~fwwidall ----------------------------------------------------------------------
