Brokerage fees are not normally as high as what was quoted in the other thread. UPS has reduced their brokerage/handling fees for items coming into Canada. I suspect that was a move to capture lost business to USPS/CP. Customs fees vary from 0% (motorcycle parts) to well beyond 6.1% which I assume is for car parts. I wish I lived closer to the border so I could take advantage of a US mail address or similar. Also, from my experience, you get your packages quicker using UPS/FedEx than you do via the post office.
