    I use UPS almost everyday to Canada at work...hidden charges are the duties, taxes, and GST fees that apply to certain kinds of products. It all depends on what type of commodity you are shipping.

    Usally the cheapest way is through USPS. Some things you can ship first class which is about 20% of Priority international.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
