Mark and others,  David isn't just whstling Dixie.  UPS is a nightmare on
cross border shipments.  I know what a great service they have in the US
but it just doesn't export well.  One by one every Canadian is finding this
out the hard way.  Try Fed Ex, US Post, any of the big courier companies or
any of the freight forwarders (DHL, etc.).  Anyone but UPS.
