Where are you located? I don't know if my current situation will help you, but I'll share it anyhow. I'm in Canada, and deepwater recently shipped me a pair of Diamond Pro 8.2a monitors and a Wharfedale mixer. Each item was shipped separately (3 packages). Based on the tracking, two of the three have just arrived at the local FedEx depot, so I should have them today or tomorrow. The third is still at the Fedex drop site in deepwater's home area. I called my local Fedex and was told that the third package most likely has customs related paper work required and that the sender will have to deal with that (which deepwater has confirmed he'll immediately do). So, although I have two of the components arriving where no customs charges will apply, I suspect the third package may have attached, any associated fees, perhaps representing all three (but I'm not sure). With the U.S./Canada free trade agreement, I'm hoping for no fees, but it may depend on what the packaging says as to where the items are made (and the stated value). I'm hoping it says U.S. even though the gear is made in China (I think). Anyhow, when I find out more, I'll post to this thread -- unless this is info is of no value to you.
