I've had very good luck with postal service (on both sides of the border)
having run a mail-order business for many years, I still find it the best
option in many cases.

NEVER ship to Canada via UPS ... ***NEVER***

UPS charges a large "brokerage" fee to the recipient which they clain
is for processing the customs paperwork. Postal service costs nothing
in clearing.

EG: I had a PET shipped up, shipping cost to the sender was $60,
"brokerage fee" I had to pay to receive the machine at my door
was $45.
