Anyone used courier (fedex/UPS) for Goods to follow?

[SkilledPro]

Hello Forum members:

I'm currently in the US.  After I land to canada, i will request my friend in the US to send me my boxes of goods to follow.  I estimate the boxes will only be around 2-3 boxes so i am planning to have them shipped via courier.

Questions:

1.  Do i need to send photocopy or original of stamped goods to follow list to my friend prior sending it to me?

2.  How do i claim my goods to follow when the boxes arrived in Canada?  I think fedex or ups ship goods door to door right? how can i claim those boxes as tax/duty free?  what's the procedure?

can anyone share their experiences please?

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you ask fedex or ups? They have customs clearance agents for that.
