Just broker your own package if it is a courier like UPS, fedex or such. Here in winnipeg UPS usually just leaves a card (I have watched them walk straight to our door with only a card then drive away). So we go down there and tell them we are going to broker our own package, they have to give us the paperwork for customs.(have to go there to pick it up anyways) Then drive a km to Canada customs and pay the tax. Then drive back to UPS then they have to release the package at no cost. $40 stays in our pocket.
I guess that's a workable solution if you live in a metropolitan centre. For me in a small BC town, doing something like that would eat up at minimum three hours of my time, much of it travelling on a windy, narrow mountain highway.
