The UPS driver who does the route that my office is on is excellent. Both the Purolator and FedEx drivers on the route have messed up with my packages, but the UPS driver never has (even when one wasn't addressed correctly, he was able to figure it out). I no longer purchase anything from the US that will be sent UPS, except in very rare circumstances for items where I'm saving an extraordinary amount of money.

don't use UPS
Same here, brokeage is a killer even if the item is just $50 or so.... even Fedex charges it but not as much. However, if you are corporate, then it would be ok as you probably have a broker in place.
So, indeed normal US post is the cheapest by far.... msjboy

I have dealt with UPS lots lately because of our dollars value. Anyway, it is not hard at all to avoid brokerage fee. I actually even sign up an account with them so they have my credit card on file. Every shipment, once i got the confirmation number, I call UPS and told them i will do my own clearance. 80% of the time, I don't have to do anything really because it is too much hassle for them to fax me the invoice and shipment detail so i can then send to canada custom, they just do it for me (Without charge) and then pay whatever duty fee using my credit card. :-)
Try it and you will see how easy it is
