[Hallicrafters] OT - shipping question

[Carl]

Ive had several vintage radios both shipped and Ive driven others down from 
Canada. My wife is Canadian so Im up that way yearly.

First, there is no duty on personal antiques.

Second there is no duty on an iten Made In The USA that is being brought 
back.

Canada Post is reasonable on some items and from certain postal codes. Ive 
used Purolator on others and shipping was much cheaper on heavy and multiple 
items.
