Yeah, you're definitely right - private import is much faster. I've done that twice now. Still takes the better part of an afternoon, though. The last quote I had for $300 for brokerage I believe was from Fedex, though I didn't end up using them. It was however much to ship to the border, $300 for brokerage and another $150 to ship to their depot in Mississauga, so an extra $450 to save me from driving to the border. $800 would definitely be too much - I value my time, but an afternoon is definitely worth $800!
