when i was doing a bunch of work on my truck i bought a ton of stuff from the states and had it shipped to orville (washington) and then just went and picked it up
yes i had to pay tax and duty.... and i still saved thousands (yes... thousands) of dollars
the one time going thru the border into the states the border guard was being a complete goof and didn't believe i was just going across to pickup truck parts. i asked her if she ever checked canadian vs american prices (this was when the canadian dollar was at par with the usd). she said 'no' and i showed her the receipts for what i was bringing back and informed her that in that one trip i was saving almost $2000. she just looked at me with a blank stare and told me to go ahead
