I've never paid duty on stuff I ordered from the US

If a Canadian buys something from the US costing more than $100 they have to serve in the US army for a few weeks.

i could be wrong about this, but i think trading between mexico, us, and canada is clean. not sure about physically crossing borders with something, but i don't think you'd have to pay anything to have it shipped

I hope not!
I was actually asking, because i was buying that jacket...
But then i just won an Ebay auction for a BOB yak trailer, and im not sure how duty works,... but that weighs 13lbs, so i sure hope its nothing to do with weight! _______________________________
What i was reading, is that if something is manufactured in the US or Canada then it is duty free...
For the jacket, it says i am responsible for taxes/brokerage fees/duty so i sure hope my 500 dollar purchase doesnt turn out to be 700 in the end... *gulp*
