Message	fees. I got a turbo timer from the U.S. for US$140 and I was charged US$20 for handling/broker fees. You then have to pay federal tax of 7%, which you have to pay whether you buy things in the States or Candada. I then used USPS and it was a lot cheaper. $3 for handling but it took 4 weeks to get here! Use USPS if you are not in a hurry!
