Is there any way to get an idea of shipping and customs cost from Canada to the usa? Ideas appreciated.
 
Ship express mail. Rates are locked in with decent insurance included, and no customs fees or delays to deal with.
 
Are you suggesting USPS? I am not seeing an express mail website. thanks

US or Canadian Express, depending on which country it originates. They have "reciprocal agreements" so express on one end is handled the same once it crosses the border.

That also explains why the package can bypass customs (and customs fees) IF the package goes over the counter and is inspected by the clerk before sealing,

Be aware that both UPS and FedEx can have some steep "gotcha" charges on delivery.
