I asked him what happened and he was not home and his wife didn't know me from Adam didn't want to pay the $250 import tax. I was embarrassed but didn't know how cheap the Canadian govn't was, charging that much of an import tarrif on a FREE GIFT!!!!!!!!! He hand carried it home for free the next time he came to Bakersfield.

On the flip side, I work for UPS and deliver at least 5 packages a day on my area from Canada. No additional charges.
