Using a US Mailbox is easy. That's what I do..
www.cbiusa.com
They are right in Niagara Falls.
Items cost $5 per package shipped to them.
I buy my stuff from the US, ship it to CBIUSA and than when they arrive, head down to Niagara Falls, cross the border, pick up my items and go back home.
If you plan on making a lot of purchases you can open an account with them which costs about 80-100 for a year for unlimited package shipments. I think.

You guys should actually take a look at this store instead
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
I compared some parts quickly and they're cheaper than My Honda Parts.
I have also made purchases from Honda Automotive Parts recently.

Do you need to tell them before you have something shipped? or do you just pay when you pick it up?

You don't have to call them ahead of time..
The first time I did call them to ask some questions and get thigns clarified.
Everytime after that I just email them to see if any packages for me has arrived if I have no tracking number.
Very friendly guys that work there. I see tons of people picking up car parts from them. I'd have to say people from Ontario picking up car parts makes up for a good deal of their business.
Last time I went a month ago, I saw this guy pick up practically a whole new car project. Rims, wheels, spoiler, body kits.

depends on what I'm ordering, the headlights and taillights I claimed last time I went.
When I picked up my wheels and tires a year ago, I didn't I just went to a garage in the area and had them installed and drove home.
Really small items I never claimed.
If you're getting the spoiler, you might be able to get away with not claiming it. remove all the packaging and just say you had it in the car and you leave it in there cause you're waiting to get it installed, etc.
There's a few other tricks you can pull.. but I dunno if I should be mentioning them.. u can pm me if u want on other methods I've done.

I know the tricks, and people who have been caught trying the tricks, not worth it IMO.
What was the value on the lights and what were you charged for tax and duty?
I'm going to be in the states for over 48 hours in early Dec, so I would order and bring stuff back then. $400 after 48 hours.

^ good to know. Now I know I can have items shipped there if I'm planning on going over to the US from that side.
Staying over for 48 hours is probably the best thing one can do if you plan on purchasing a lot of goods or making big ticket items.
For me the lights were about $200 total, and they charge you 13% on the total price you paid for your items.

It depends on country of origin. Usually it's just g.s.t (just one tax, nto two) and then duty. I brought over a body kit for my 8th gen, was $950ish dollars, cost me $** duty and taxes.
