What about the customs charge crap? Just say it's only worth $30(the limit) and hope they are stupid?

What I have been told, and I have done a bunch of times is to declare it as a gift, and that way they don't have to pay for anything extra.

Yea, I claimed it as a gift, but its only allowed to be a gift up to $30. So I was sending two things, said one was 10 the other was 20, they opened it and saw my 500 dollar paintball gun there, and im like "Yes thats 20 bucks." Anyways it was shipped. And thats my story.

a customs agent is not going to know how much your paintball gun costs.. nor are they even going to care.. especially with the kind of volume sent from canada to the us or vice versa.

DO NOT send it UPS to canada, espicially if your gona pay the shipping, UPS has a gay brokerage fee, and they will rip you a new -------. Canadian people know this, You can save a ton of money sending it USPS, or using another carrier, but shipping with UPS will ---- your *** up. Hotrex should be the only one here supporting the Brown.

Just send it USPS it'll be hella better for the guy you are sending it to and yourself. Just put is as a gift and don't bother declaring a price if you don't have to as from what I have been told you can't buy insurance from US to Canada anyways. NEVER EVER send anything to Canada UPS, they simply suck ***, over charge and then charge again when it gets to the person who bought it, even if you have it send as a gift. I ------- hate UPS
