Anyone coming from LA to Toronto that can save me some money on shipping? I bought some lights from someone in LA and would appreciate the help.

Thanks!

U can try to post it on uship.com, but frankly, I would pay for UPS

I'd use USPS. The cost is low low and the shipping time is comparable to others. Most of the time you get away without the duty/brokerage fees that UPS is notorious in charging. I would never use UPS out of the states.

USPS for sure.

I just started to order parts from US for my w209. I noticed that none of the US online stores offers free shipping to Canadian destinations.

UPS adds custom/brokerage fees while USPS does not. On top of the extra costs, UPS will take longer because this custom/brokerage process takes a few extra days.

Funny how things work differently around the World.
I have terrible experience with government-run USPS. While package shipped from China have perfect tracking program, the USPS tracking is not working at all till they deliver.
To top it - the postmaster here will not even try to deliver packages where signature is required. I have a gate, but they don't have intention to walk past it. They will leave notification at my mail box and drive with the package for the rest of the day. So even I take the notification in the afternoon and go to PO - the package is not there.
UPS driver will honk the horn and walk 200 feet to drop the package on my porch.
