The $1000 mark is not a magic figure any more, smaller amounts commonly seem to slip through the cracks where they probably reckon it is not worth the effort and cost to charge GST on entry but more than a couple of hundred you can probably rely on having to pay it.
I can't comment on US shipping in general apart from saying avoid USPS in the way that people are failing to avoid COVID 19. That probably applies to any service that does not operate their own aircraft and uses available space on commercial flights. It took almost three months for an adapter from Agena to arrive for me (So long I don't need it any more) and they have to admit that it is not currently atypical for them trying to get stuff to AU. While they will be busy and slower than we might be used to, at least DHL and the like who operate their own flights will probably not leave it sit at an LA airport for eight weeks like my bit did.
