Advice for shipping from Canada to US?


I'm in the process of purchasing a used amp from a seller in Sasketchewan, Canada, and having it shipped to me in California. It is a sub-$1000 USD purchase and not terribly fragile. What is the best shipping service to use for cross-border shipment? What should I know about the customs process?

Thanks in advance.

Contrary to the advice to avoid the postal service, I have had good experience receiving packages from Canadian vendors shipped that way including one received just yesterday.  I buy stuff all the time from Canada, really it is not much different from buying from US vendors.  The unknown factor X right now might be a change in the political climate, which we have zero control over.
