UPS and Fedex, if a shipment goes to Canada by ground, will arbitrarily add what they call brokerage fees. I had a $40 item from the USA show up with $36 in charges. I've been told they don't do it on shipments by air, but can't say for sure.
They've been doing it for years, and there's not a lot you can do about it, other than refuse the shipment.
They have trained me to always contact the shipper and ask if they can ship by USPS. If it can't, no sale.
