The best way to handle this issue is do what I do.
I live an hour away from the Port Huron MI border.
So I have the parts shipped to a UPS store in Port Huron (or any other company that accepts parcels and that is a BIG business these days along the Canadian/US border) and then I go over and pick them up myself. Because the parts are for personal use, there is no need for a broker and you do not get hammered with any extremely high brokerage fees or crazy shipping rates that exist here in Canada. The company I have them shipped to in Port Huron only charges $5/box handling fees and that is a great deal.
You then cross back into Canada and pay the duty (if any) and the lovely GST and you are done!
