I have been hosed by UPS before too. Once they were going to charge $39
for a $20 item. So I refused the item. I just have the item insured (if
coming from the U.S.). and use the U.S. postal service or the U.S. postal
service global priority mail. It is much, much cheaper and only
marginally slower. If Canadapost doesn't look at the item, then there is
no fee. If they do, then it is only $5. I never bid on auctions where
UPS is the only shipper. Why would anyone want to use them? BIG RIP OFF
Yeah, it's annoying. Particularly when FedEx tends to be such a class act
in comparison. And you're right, as long as the package is small enough,
Canada Post is exceptionally competitive in that regard, as is the USPS.
