I'm Canadian so I deal with such issues frequently. I always, ALWAYS ask US vendors to ship via USPS because UPS charges an obscene rate of a minimum of $20 customs brokerage fee. In other words I never, ever deal with UPS. If the vendor insists on UPS I go elsewhere.
I agree. I use Paypal whenever possible to shop on the internet. However since Kobobooks doesn't allow that option I picked up a Chapters-Indigo gift card and just take it to Chapters or Coles when I need to reload it to buy a book or books. Actually just did that yesterday.

As for UPS, yes they suck ..... I've done the same thing, if a store only offers UPS for shipping then I don't buy from them. UPS is a bloody rip off. They charge a customs brokerage fee whether or not you have to pay for customs.
