Slow shipping from the USA is a fact. Canadians who get fair bit of stuff from south of the border know this perfectly well. Incidentally the slowness is the fault of the brokerage/customs process, not the shipping process per se.I have once or twice been asked to under value items I'm to shipped to the USA: I just refuse. In any case it reduces any possible insurance claim that might need to be made.
In my experience "Gift" doesn't avoid taxes, etc.; the request is ignorance on the part of the prospective buyer and there is no advantage if you comply or don't.
