You could always ship it to a package holding company in Pt. Roberts or Blaine and pick it up from there. Then you'd get the US Shipping Rates (which usually is free after a certain amount). The processing cost for the company to receive your package is pretty nominal...$3 or $4. But, you'd have to factor in gas, and time at the border to figure out if this is worthwhile for you. It came out pretty well for me before Christmas when I did all my shopping at Amazon.com. But, I'm unsure what the duty rate is on books (if there is any). If not, the border tax collectors will only hit you up for GST/PST.
