I wasn’t sure if this question should go in the General Unicycling Discussions forum or not so put it here. I’m wondering if anyone in the US has ordered something from municycle.ca (Unicycle.com - Canada) in the last year or so and had it shipped to the US. I’d like to place an order for something under $200 and it would ship Small Packets Air but I’m not sure what happens on the US side as far as duty and customs. I did a web search and found a variety of responses so wanted to see if anyone had specific recent experience. Thanks!
Give Pete a call & ask him. He should be able to inform on cross border shipping.

I’ve purchased parts from UDC UK and CAN, both shops were very fair, prices with shipping were better than USA when on sale (UW), also when the UDC USA doesn’t always carry the parts I want.
The CAN parcel post transfers to USPS when it gets here, then they bring it to you. Fed Ex and UPS would handle their own transfers, but keep in mind that they may be a lot more expensive.
I have not been dinged for Import fees from CAN, UK, GER, or NZ.
Thanks for the feedback! I corresponded with Pete and put in my order and we’ll see how it goes.
Yes it should have. This forum is (intended to be) everything else but unicycling.
…And a lake, or similarly-sized body of water to keep you hydrated.
Did you try, y’know, actually calling or emailing the store itself?
My personal preference is to rely on beer for that part of the job.
There’s a disclaimer on the web site saying that they have no control over the fees that may be charged and I initially didn’t want to put them on the spot to say something that could possibly be made untrue by circumstances beyond their control.
