Buying an AV receiver in the US, "hypothetical" tax dodging question

LeperousDust · 11-09-2008, 19:08

I'm getting hold of two Onkyo SR606's for my rents ASAP, and all the cheap offers turn out to be in the US obviously. Now i've got friends in NYC and Canada, what are the logistics of me buying it and having it delivered to my friends place in Canada? Like paying with a foreign card having it delivered in another country, and tax wise. I'm aware I'm dogging a fair amount, but what i mean is at her end if i have two amps crossing borders what taxes may i have to account for over there? It's all quite confusing. But since she'll be repackaging them as a gift and sending invoices separately i still stand to save about 25% i think... So yeah just need a bit of advice. Girl in NYC i can call on but I'd rather go through Canada (i know her much better

).
