I believe that there arnt any duties on automotive parts coming across the boarder, but i also think that you have to pay taxes, I was wondering if anyone with knowledge about this could set me straight....

Yes there are Duties and Taxes.

If you trust UPS or whoever's shipping, just say that it's a Gift valued at like $40... I was told it won't charge you duties if it's a "gift"... and the less the value the less you pay, but if you're worried about it not getting there, then tell them the correct amount so you can get your money back if something happens

aren't there drawbacks to doing this? Like insurance will only cover you for the amount you state and stuff? I hate the brokerage fees and duties and taxes. hehe

Well ya, if the product that you're buy is say,$400, you will only get $20 back for it via insurance if it gets lost, broken.... etc.

But that's up to you. I've never had a problem

Will this work with a front and rear bumper too? Also if I were shipping front and rear from the States to Canada, what type of shipping company would be the cheapest and pick it up from my house???
