Could you have asked Sewell to ship without invoices? I worked at a data recovery company where we used to ship to our office in Toronto and we just used to leave invoices in there for $0.00, or no invoice alone and not be taxed. By the way, love Toronto and all you Canadians.

i asked, the thing is, they have to inform fedex the value of the part before fedex picked them up, so it doesn't matter they ship with or without the invoice.
its the same.

Toronto is not bad, but just the tax in Canada hurts everyone.

when sewell sends the part they can say its 50 buks, so when it comes to your door the tax is on 50 only...it works when I buy off ebay. The only catch to this is if your shipment gets lost or damaged the replacement value is based on what the shipper provided in the start, so 50buks.

oh yea off topic, i checked sewell online parts and they dont offer a gfx front lip in starfire pearl (077)....? im from toronto as well. YUP!

Default Alternative Options

What I have done in the past, is ship to a company close to the border and then go pick it up yourself.

For those in Ontario, here are a couple of options:

1) http://www.usaddressinc.com - I have used these guys a few times. They are the first exit over the border and we're very friendly. It cost me $5 and they hold your item for a week. (pricing depends on package size)

2) http://canammailbox.tripod.com - I haven't used this company but several friends have and they were very satisfied.
