Don't kid yourself on that one, I recieved my M&K speakers from a private sale a few weeks ago. He was in Georgia I live in NS and when they got here I had to pay additional brokerage fees, 6.5% duty and they are made in the USA.
I have recieved almost all my drum cymbals from Zildjian from people in the USA and never paid brokerage or duties.Same as some clothing.
I think they try and nail electronics more, then again a freind up the road recieved some music gear and nothing. depends on who the shipping is by too. Fedex nails you everytime, USPS hardly
