Just to clarify, I was suggesting that you can have the product shipped from a US online store to a UPS store at a border town (e.g. Niagara, NY, etc). That way, if the price is better in the US, and they do not ship to Canada, you can still get the product, provided you are willing to drive to pick it up. Done it a few times already.

I agree though that UPS brokerage fees are ridiculous for anything coming into Canada.
