USPS Global Express: $35.50

I have had issues with both TNT and DHL, I am faced with getting my exhaust from the UK via UPS and not so sure on that one either.

Basically everyone sucks at shipping.

It was USPS, so there would be no difference on getting stung for import duty or whatever it is then? if no ones had a bad experience with USPS ill prob jsut go with the cheaper option. or has no one had a bad experience because no one uses them :/

USPS is US Postal Service and in my opinion the best way to get stuff from the US, much much better then UPS so I would go with it for sure.

I always use USPS. Don't seem to have any problems, they just charge you tax on the price they see on the invoice. No duty or any other charges.

DHL's depot hours are the best, they're actually open late - unlike most other courier companies

USPS/Canada Post have the smallest brokerage fee ($5)

I don't know how they manage it but USPS has been the cheapest and most BS free shipper I've used. Their time frame to ship has seemed more erratic than the others but I'll accept that vs. the brokerage roulette you get with the others.
