I don't know if any parallels can be drawn between Australia and Canada, but
my experience in Canada leads me to strongly believe that the "bad guys"
here aren't S@H, or customs dweebies, but rather UPS.

Every *SINGLE* time I've gotten a parcel via UPS, there are outrageous fees
attached, coupled with horrendous exchange rates.  Of the three UPS parcels
I've gotten, 2 of them cost me more to receive than the value+shipping of
the product.  The third time it was a $200+ parcel, and the UPS hit was
"only" about $80.

But maybe it's just me.

thanks,

James

(added market.shipping, thought about snipping lego.direct, but it still
seems relevant)

I guess thats what happens when you use UPS.

Personally, I like Priority Mail (in USA).  As for Canada's wonderous
mail system, CANADA POST - first class mail seems to take twice as long as
first class in US....

oh well...
