Shipping to Canada?
« on: August 03, 2020, 08:46:14 am »
Hey guys.  I'm building a preamp for a guy in Canada, but not sure how this works to ship there from the US.  Has anyone done this successfully?  It's hand built and I don't have the resources for CE certification or UL testing or anything like that.  Would appreciate anyone's input - maybe it's not even an issue?

Thanks
Mark

A single box to Canada at full postage is super-unlikely to be opened for inspection.

It may be held in a border warehouse for a month so the filthy US germs dissipate.

Do NOT get any pot/dope/opioid scent in or on the box!! If the dog alerts, they WILL  tear it apart until they find the contraband.

I ship to Canada all the time
No problems lately that I have heard about

Last week, I had a well pump control box shipped from Canada to me
I ordered it on Sunday and it was here Tuesday.
