Firstly, welcome to the forums. Also, there is an excellent search facility on the top right of your page, which you can use - this topic has been extensively discussed here. However, since you are new, I give you the benefit of doubt, and shall try to answer your questions:
(a) http://www.knifecenter.com/ is the most reliable, and ships via FedEx at low cost (FedEx shipping through KC is a mere ~$30, as compared to individual which costs ~$100). The prices on KC are slightly higher, but the hassle is minimum, and typical delivery times are about a week to 10 days.
(b) Depends on whether customs charges duties or not - I have had a knife costing $150 come in without duty, while another worth $70 was charged duty. However, you should assume duty shall be levied @41% (approx).

Again, welcome, and don't forget to use the search function next time onwards.
