I'll concur with that request.

Yes, UPS has absurdly high customs charges, and long processing delays.
Our University puts 'do no ship UPS' as a condition of sale on all P.O.s to
the USA.

I was pleasantly surprised to get a bill from DHL for some stuff they cleared,
and their service charge was all of $7.00. Canadian post office charges $5.00 to clear.
It took them nearly 90 days to give me the bill (duty and GST + s/c) but they
did pay the GST on my behalf and didn't hold up the shipment, so I did get value
for the charge.
