And based on the trades I've made, shipping from Canada is about the same (they wouldn't have made the trades with me if they were overpaying on shipping).

Regardless, you'll have to fill out a customs form.

All right lads. From the shit I have gotten from my American buddies, Shipping is hardly ever over 4 dollars. MAX. Now shipping into the US costs 6$ Canadian to ship a single carded figure [MU, Star Wars, ect] and around 12-13 for a Transformer [Deluxe]. I always come out paying more than it would an American to buy a figure + shipping. So lets do some quick math:

1 MU figure = 13.91 wih tax in my Province [British Columbia]
Shipping: 6$ to ship ONE MOC figure.
Total Cost: 19.91 Canadian

Now, I don't know exactly the prices down in the states, or taxes so this is all guessing.

1 MU figure = 9.62 with tax at 7%
Shipping: I have seen it as low as 1.98 for a loose figure, or 3.40 for MOC in a BOX. So lets go with the MOC one seeing we did with Canada.
Total Cost: 13.02 USD.

For now on after looking at this, for trading, I am going to ask to pay 2 bucks or so extra for shipping because that is a HUGE difference!!
