Here is just one anecdote.  A bunch of years ago I had a customer at the
University of Southern Ontario in London.  Sending tapes to him took 2-3
weeks.  One time I got a letter from him postmarked Buffalo NY with a US
stamp on it.  I was curious, so I asked him about it next time I talked to
him.  He said the canadian mail is so slow and expensive that there are
private companies that collect mail for the US, drive it over the border,
and dump it on the US post office.  Paying the private currier service was
still cheaper and faster than sending it via the canadian post office.
