I needed to send a letter to Ontario, Canada. 4 or 5 days, something like $32.00!!! Damn near get a plane ticket for that!! Got there in less than a week for maybe $2.00.
Anything going to Canada, be prepared to get bent over. BIG TIME!!
Ordered pellet stove parts and had to return them. VAT in Canada was $50.00.
You can squawk all you want but you STILL have to pay it.
Returned more parts and marked the USPS paperwork "returned parts". Still another $50.00.
It's been said you can APPEAL it (theVAT)? Not from California you cant. 
Bolt to Accu Tig? USPS Flat Rate, maybe $10.00? Takes longer to get there than it does for Dan to do his thing, drop it back in the mail and on it's way back to you.

That is why I use USPS to Canada and most out of USA shipments.I needed to send a letter to Ontario, Canada. 4 or 5 days, something like $32.00!!! Damn near get a plane ticket for that!! Got there in less than a week for maybe $2.00.

On the flip side, as a Canadian when I order from the USA I always make sure they ship with USPS, very reasonable costs, but the downside can be the Can Border services taking their time inspecting/passing for entry.
For instance, any bolt action parts, like a shroud for a 700 can be weeks to 3 months. Firearm parts are on the very bottom of the list of priority. It is very dependant on the type and it seems, the company or retailer. Boyds stocks are a few weeks usually, Brownell/Sinclair also fairly quick.
On the other hand, UPS will get orders here very quick, like 5-6 days but be prepared to get seriously bent over on Brokerage Fee's.

The returned parts WERE shipped USPS Priority Flat Rate Mail!!
Flat rate is better than sending package rate.
Package rate will cost you sometimes more than the stuff is worth.
My recoil lugs usually take about a month to arrive in Canada with the USPS. No biggie as long as they make it. And they all have so far.
