I can confirm that Bookeen used FedEx Air which DID NOT charge any extra fees (besides shipping fee and standard Canadian GST/PST).

So NAEB should make sure to offer alternatives to UPS Ground, such as USPS ground say.

Yikes! Thank you for the heads-up! We will add that option - maybe change things around.
