They interface directly with Canada Post and there are no additional custom brokerage fees that can happen with some of the other courier companies. Got a kite and bar from Hawaii for $65 US, no brokerage fees on USPS. I've heard of people paying up to $100 dollars in brokerage fees with courier companies. _________________ -------------------------- Mobettah kitebot Since 20 Feb 2007 102 Posts Stoked CGKA Member Thu Jul 02, 2009 1:37 pm     Based on my experience UPS charges outrageous brokerage fees when shipping to Canada. USPS is definitely the way to go.

I'm still waiting for a warranty return board a customer sent from Ottawa 2 weeks ago.
