Thanks David, I appreciate the advice. I'll try USPS for the emp kit and see how
it works out to Owen Sound.
Cheers,

Hi Mike - I'm also working on an RV-10, from just north of Edmonton. It's been
an absolutely great experience so far.
David is right - use the postal service at every opportunity. But I'd be very
surprised if Van's would be able to do so with the larger shipments like kit deliveries.
A lot of people do have large deliveries sent just south of the border and then
go down to pick them up personally. But I don't live conveniently close to the
border, so I haven't done this. One thing that does work really well though
- notify whatever shipping company that you will cover the brokerage yourself.
It will require your going down in person to a customs office (which in itself
is a rather significant pain - I wish they could just take credit card info
over the phone, or allow you to fill out documentation by fax, but they don't),
but then you'll only be asked to pay the GST, which you'd have to anyway,
and not any of the other significant fees that the shipping companies love to
tack on. I can't say the customs people are thrilled to do this (at least in
my experience) since being that you haven't likely done it before, you'll be
asking them to clarify questions as you're filling out the form, but they have
to allow you to do it this way whether they're thrilled about it or not.
And when you get to the point of adding all the little "extras", you'll definitely
want to check out Aircraft Spruce for the additional bits and pieces, since
they maintain a warehouse in Ontario and as such if you have things delivered
from their Ontario warehouse, you can avoid all the import fees there as well.
Great to hear you're joining the ranks of RV-10 builders!
Dan
