I don't have any particular problem about Canada Post or US Post, but I have a hatfull of horror stories about UPS and the extortionist charges they have for brokerage. An item I won on ebay for $.01 cost me Over $50.00 Canadian for brokerage charges from UPS. Of course it didn't help that the idiot that sent it insured it for $100 (which I had to pay for un my shipping charges). So UPS valued it at ~$150 Canadian on which a sales tax of about $10.50 would be due, if in fact it was worth that much. The other $39 or so was their brokerage charges. Canada Post would have charged $5 flat rate and wouldn't even have charged that had it come in at the correct value. I have lots of other horror stories about UPS that I could repeat at my leisure, but what really gags me is that after I specifically request USPS from Centsible, Software Hut and others is that they _still_ send it UPS :-x
