Many of you already knew, I guess.  However, I rarely buy stuff online and have it shipped from the US to my address here in Vancouver.

I always use Fed Ex. Customs brokerage is included in the freight.
For UPS, I tried once only because the shop only have UPS or USPS. I pay USD$25 for next day service by UPS. That is a good deal! The shop is in the east coast of USA.
People try to use cheap service will always end up paying more for those ebay or on-line shopping.
beside brokerage, consignee also needs to pay import duty and GST.
