So you think UPS is better for cross border deliveries??
The following is all for the same item...
So far I have paid the UPS driver the duties imposed by Canada Customs...
Received an invoice for customs duties from UPS...ignored it as I paid the driver...
The shipper of the item has received an invoice from UPS for the duties...
The shipper paid the duties which he shouldn''''t have but wanted UPS off his back...
I reembursed the shipper the duties, so I have paid twice now.
UPS or USPS/Canada Post???
That my friends is a no brainer...POST OFFICE all the way, at least they know what they are doing!!!

That has been my experience as well. Blitz sent me a free speaker to try out, and shipped it to me UPS. They wanted $32 from me for a box that was 6"X6"X6". I said no thanks and then sent it back. I am not sure if Blitz ever got it back again????
They then turned around and sent me an invoice for $32.00. When I phoned them, they told me to ignore the bill???? What is up with that???. You send out bills hoping someone will pay them by mistake???? If this was a legit practice another bill should have been sent to be crediting the transaction. The credit slip never did arrive. So I honestly believe this is a practice of theirs. Send out bills and hope in the busy lives of some people, the bills will get paid by mistake.
Maybe UPS works well into the US and across the US, but I absolutely refuse to deal with them.
Too many times I have been charged outlandish import brokerage fees. It literally takes a person 30 seconds to fill out a green declaration sticker and slap it on a parcel. UPS charges $25.00 for that service. I am telling anyone who will listen. If you are shipping things into Canada, stay away from UPS.
