aardvark advised:
Oh, by the way don't ship UPS if the package is going to cross the border. They are bandits and will hose you brokerage charges like you wouldn't believe. I've rarely had a problem with the Post, but I've always had problems with UPS.
;-) They tried that with me a few years ago, when I bought my A4000 from Canada. They sent me a bill for a service that I hadn't contracted for, so I just ignored it, and they never followed up on it.
