If you send it FedEx or UPS, you can actually track the package, but the delivee gets charged fees.
I've tracked dozens of USPS packages.

I hear this 50% of the time I try buying from the US. What's the headache? Postal code instead of a zip code, and one quick form. In my experience, most of the peole who *think* it's a hassle, haven't actually shipped to Canada. They just assume it's complicated.

I've shipped car parts all across Canada, the US and Europe. It doesn't take me any more time to send an engine head to Utah as it does to send it Moncton, NB.
