Acadia,
I would check with your post office and customs. I had to pay for an I-Pod that my son owned and paid for here in Can, he goes to school in the US and I was shipping it to him. Customs did not care and I had to pay even after I told them the situation. I do not know what the rules are from one part of the country to the other. I could be wrong and Greywolf could be right about his area.
