i have bought 4 pins from the states. have your machine dropped off at a warehouse that is close to the border, but in the states. there should be many warehouses that hold things for canadians.google is your friend here. the cost should be very cheap.go with a buddy to pick it up and simply pay the taxes on the pin and enjoy. make sure you have printed out any emails , reciept from bank etc. to verify your purchase price. do not get a broker, did i mention do not get a broker, that would be $tupid.
cost of pin+transport to border+small fee at warehouse+taxes(no duty)+beers for helping buddy=pinball arrival at home.
