Shipping boxes to Canada?


I have a few buyers from Canada. Is it complicated to ship a box to Canada vis UPS ground? I really hate to fill out forms after forms just to get pass the customs.

If you have shipped boxes to Canada via UPS ground, please share your experience with me. Thanks!

I've tried it all:

Fedex Express - will charge customs brokerage fees

Fedex Ground - will assign third party broker from which you will receive invoice for their customs brokerage fee
UPS - as said by others, they will charge their $45 flat fee for brokerage plus customs

CanadaPost/USPS - they don't charge anything for brokerage only GST and any custom fees (declared value above $200)

You can insure things with Fedex for up to $25K, UPS does not insure at all, CanadaPost maxes out at $1000

My advice: use USPS if you don't need insurance over CAD$1000, anything else go with Fedex
