LOL, i guess rock " made in the states" isn't covered under NAFTA . I figured you'd get ding'd the taxes and brokerage, but kinda figured it would be duty free.
And yes, if you don't get the special $10 brokerage fee they've set up, UPS Ground is rediculus.
Sometimes the brokerage is so high that it ends up being the same price to ship it via one of their air freight services, which all INCLUDE the brokerage fee. Of course, you still pay taxes and any duties.

I thought "duties" was "GST"...?

I ordered 50 lb from them because of the shipping rules. I wanted 100 lb but it is cheaper to make 2 separate 50 lb orders than a single 100 lb order because of the brokerage fees.

Haha...it may feel like a "duty" but the Goods and Services tax is just one of the many ways they make us pay.
