FedEX charges just as much.

Just use regular mail, that's what I ask for anyway. IMO, if buyer is paying for shipping and everything else, then the buyer has the right to select shipping agency.

Does customs add on 14% + duties of what you bring over?

I have a box at Can-Am Mail Box Rental,2315 Whirlpool Street, Niagara Falls, NY 14305 - (716) 284-6245

It costs close to 90 bucks USD a year, its located right near the rainbow bridge. They are very easy to deal with. This is a family run mailbox place and they are super nice people. They also have a full service POST OFFICE, you can ship via UPS, USPS and a few other services out of there location.

I have had millions of packages shipped there - big and small - no problems ever. I always just pay the duty because its always pretty minimal. And sometimes you get lucky and a customs officer just lets you go without paying. Its best to be 100% honest with the customs, I always have invoices ready for anything i bring across.

I agree Cynikal about USPS.. I have had alot of success with them - very minimal charges... what sucks is alot of ebay sellers dont use usps (because then they cant screw you on shipping costs)

I love USPS - If you ever have to ship anything to anyone in the USA - I highly suggest just taking it across the border and mail it, you will save a ton of money in shipping and not to mention it will arrive about 5 days sooner at the address.
