Being from Canada the person in Canada will appreciate USPS. 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.

| Based on my experience UPS charges outrageous brokerage fees when shipping to Canada. USPS is definitely the way to go. |

USPS will be your best situation for being under the radar with customs/duty charges, but your damage/replacement insurance is very limited and shipping usually takes 14-18 days.
I'm still waiting for a warranty return board a customer sent from Ottawa 2 weeks ago.
