(insert standard legal disclaimer here)

Yes, but anything shipped from within a US territory would be governed by US laws BEFORE it was shipped. You may not have to deal with customs, but you'd have to show the RX before THEY could legally package and ship it to you, because you cannot ship RX req'd stuff from the US without the RX.

So you don't really get anywhere.

But when I ordered something from a British company, it came directly in the mail - no trip to customs. Perhaps because Canada is part of the Commonwealth.
