Use U.S Postal Service for delivery from the US to canada.

UPS will for sure screw you. They add brokerage fees, handling fees, and you
have to pay up front before you get your package. It adds up, and it will
make you want to scream. IMHO they are a bunch of freaking thieves. I avoid
them.

Nah, it was UPS who zinged my kid for brokerage, we've decided to build an
island for all the people we don't like, and the centre of it is designated
for "brown". (though it would be cool to see what's in the trucks I
guess...).
Sorry to hear about your car BTW, time to get the resto moving on the other
one I guess...(it's likely that rebuild that did it in, too much power)
