Out of curiosity, any Canadians get their yokes yet? I'm waiting to find out how much of a butt-raping UPS is gonna do on these. Or did you remember to use USPS for the Canucks, Dave?

As a side note, I won't EVER be using USPS to ship anything ever again. After they've REPEATEDLY made me look bad, I've given up on them. Any argument to their credit will be futile because my rep has already taken too much of a beating to put up with anymore of the "he said my package was lost" posts caused directly by USPS. I have to be quite blunt about this one because it's a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation and I've got to choose the better of the two. Trying to ease my rep out of the forum dog-house seems more appropriate given my extreme investment into reproduction parts. So, no more USPS. No more. Nope. LOL
For now, I'm planning on sticking with UPS. Yes, while they do have their problems, they have *real* tracking and a higher caliber of staff working for them. However, when I do ship outside of the good ol' USA, I've been selecting the "reverse fees to shipper" option so I can take the brunt of the cost involved. I'm curious to know what charges, if any, might be making their way to the customer.

Hi all,
Yep, got my yoke last week and only had to pay approximately $12.00 of GST.
UPS can be a little slow getting their duty invoices out, but if Dave is reversing fees I suspect it's a done deal.

Uhhh.....I have literally shipped about 10,000 packages via USPS to every corner of the world. Know how many got lost? About 4, and 3 of those were customer error.
And, the USPS does have numbers a customer can use to follow the delivery process. The delivery confirmation numbers will show that the package was indeed shipped, most times its progress along the way, as well as if it was returned to sender for some reason. You only need to provide that number to your customer for them to see that you are telling the truth. If you are not doing that, or not using the free delivery confirmation service you get when purchasing the postage on-line, then I don't know what to say.
Maybe they just have it out for you for some reason ;)
