Big misconception.
I pick-up all my stuff in New-York. In the last 5 years, I never ever paid any duty on anything. I do pay the sale tax (HST in Ontario) that I would have been charge if I bought the stuff on the Canadian side but since the stuff is a lot cheaper State side, I don't mind. Lots of time I got wave by and pay nothing.
Except for booze and cigarette procured the same day or over the limit, the only duty I'm aware of someone having paid is on car.
Now the biggest rip-off is the brokerage fees that UPS and FedEx charge to those that have stuff ship across the border, just highway robbery.
