This is why I ship to Canada (and elsewhere outside of the US) via U.S. Mail
rather than UPS wherever possible.  Rather than paying an unspecified (and
often high) brokerage fee, Canadian customers pay a flat fee of CDN $5
(equivalent to about US $0.25  :-) regardless of package weight or value
(plus any duty, of course).

By the way, I do carry the Delta Six/EuroAmerican products as well, so
Canadian customers who need those items and want to avoid those UPS
brokerage fees should call me or order them via my website.
