Dicho,

Thanks again for your advice in the other thread I started.

After getting the run around from Fed Ex, I ended up calling a friend of mine who is in the freight business. I haven't seen the bill yet, so I'm not sure how much the shipping was. He did me a favour. Because I don't have a customs broker I had to get the paperwork from the warehouse it was in, go to Canada Customs with the bill of sale and the photocopy of the Money order that I sent to Charcloth. You were right, there is no duty on stringed instruments. I had to pay PST & GST on the $312 U.S. that I paid. That came to $74.47 Cdn. I expect the shipping to be about $50 U.S.

I think in the future I would use UPS.
