Whom to use to ship used parts from U.S. to Canada?
Question: what's the best way to ship used parts from the U.S. to Canada?
Looks like I need to do this and I remembered the thread "A question for Canadians..." from about a month ago which made me a little concerned about UPS and complications/cost/delays due to customs, etc.
I just need to find the best option for a 28 lb. package containing an A/C compressor.
Recommendations? Experiences?

Only use USPS for Canadian shipments.

Make sure you state USED car parts on the customs declaration as it makes a difference from new parts when it comes to duties payable.

I always had my parts from Roger via USPS and never had a problem.
Hope it will stay that way.
I have to pay both federal and provincial sales taxes (12.5%) when I get the parts. No duty charges.
And also, it sometimes get stuck at the Custom for up to 1 week...

I've done +$10k biz over the 'free' border...............USPS at least gets the parts here eventually but they dont control customs black hole.
All my orders with Roger do get to my remote location with a fee attached by CDN customs...............typically a % of stated value.
I tried UPS once with another supplier............half the parts arrived in days the other half a number of weeks later.

No because they dont control US customs.............neither does the courier companies that I know of for same reason.
CP barely guarantees in Canada deliveries............pls dont go postal on me
