We never use UPS to ship to Canada anymore except for overnight and even there we prefer FedEx. Goods shipped into Canda by UPS seem to spend a lot of time with customs. If something must go by UPS, you can always have it sent to Blaine at a drop off place. It may be a drag to drive there, but it beats paying $48 for UPS's incompetence.
