I run a computer shop and concur that Canadians should not use UPS due to hefty brockerage fees. You will pay GST on the Canadain dollar value no matter which way you slice it. Some of my suppliers in the US will only ship UPS and there is always a $25-40 fee. The expidited service that Ron mentioned in my experience is nearly as high with the same time anyway! I have had good luck with FedEx who have been reasonable but the best is US Mail.
