I'd say that it isn't worth the hassle to go from Toronto to buffalo unless you make a trip of it. Niagara Falls is a pretty amazing sight, and you can find hotels nearby pretty cheap. There are also outlet stores on the way that you can see from the highway once you get near enough.
As for having parts shipped to Buffalo, you may save on shipping, but you'll still have to pay duty on anything over $250. You'll also have to deal with crossing the border which can be a ****ty experience, coming and going.
My girlfriend went to school/lived in Buffalo for the last 6 years, so I've crossed countless times and brought tons of stuff back with me, usually with no problems, but I've also had to deal with total dicks.
If she were still there, I'd offer to have it shipped to her house and I'd bring it back as you're allowed to bring more value in goods the longer your stay, but she's gone even further down to South Carolina for her internship.
Just have the stuff ordered and shipped to Toronto and save the headache, but still consider going to check out the Falls. Some really nice roads to drive out that way too.
