Safe Shipping
Ok Choices to ship from the USA are Fedex Economy Express shipping, Fedex priority Express Shipping or EMS . I am thinking the last two are safe as in no brokerage fees am I correct. This place has an awesome deal on a Trex 600e with glass Fibre (silver body and belt tail gear. I could care less for shaft drive.

Re: Safe Shipping
whats the difference is shipping to the US or to Canada. If the difference is worth it you could have the package shipped to Niagara Falls NY and pick it up there. If you want the info I can forward what I have. As for cross border shipping there was some discussion a while ago about doing the brokerage clearing yourself and forwarding it to the shipping company to avoid the harsh costs to essentially have them pay the tax for you.

Re: Safe Shipping
EMS is US Postal Service. So, coming across the border it will be subject to the usual Canada Post $5 to $8 service charge plus PST/GST on the Canadian value of the package.
Generally not quite as fast as Fedex (or UPS) but certainly cheaper. ...jim |

Re: Safe Shipping
I should have looked at the web site first and seen it was actually in Taiwan Home of Align. They has a super price on (I assume ) discontinued Trex 600 had silver GF fuse and a belt drive tail rotor for $324usd . In the time I spent to check out the shipping they went out of stock. Oh well saying says snooze and loose. But if I hadn't checked I could have had to pay lots to them there shipping companies
