live like 10 min from the border so really not worth the expense or hassle. Frankly one should always expect to pay taxes due. If one gets pulled over to pay, and that makes the deals no longer deals... then they shouldn't be shopping in the US to begin with. There have been years we have been waved through on BF with that amount or higher. The last 4 or 5 years, we've bought tv's every year. That is pretty much an automatic pullover due to duty. Did that make them cold deals... No Way! BTW, your math doesn't really work. 5 people in a car on BF and 4 of them spending nothing. Impossible I say. _______________ Missing Jamaica but just 47 weeks till the next one! Gotta rest up so I can tackle Black Friday head on and full force! Keep an eye open for the RFD Black Friday forum! The first ads are starting to leak now!!! boredstudent, we cross a couple of times a week, every week. We get all our groceries in the US and most every thing else too. It's normally a very rare occasion to be pulled over so we really can't complain and don't. Heck before school went back we did over $1500, 4 of us in about 6 hrs and we were waved through. If we get pulled on BF, we are still way, WAY ahead. _______________ Missing Jamaica but just 47 weeks till the next one! Gotta rest up so
