Chris, I wish you had posted this last week. UPS is in the process of screwing me out of over $100 more than it would have cost with the postal service. And if that weren't enough to leave a bad taste in your mouth, they rerouted the parcel to return to the US (GKY). I tracked the damn thing and notified them of their mistake. Now it is rerouted off in the direction of Bracebridge (again GKY).

Listen to Chris.. DO NOT USE UPS FOR US-CANADA SHIPMENTS. -Larry
