Umm, I'm not the poster you're responding to, but my experience with UPS has been absolutely horrible. No other shipper ever causes me problem (well, Canada Post has misdirected two items in 30 years, not bad for somebody who delivers five addressed items to me per business day).
UPS has taken more than three months to deliver an item, has run over an item with a truck, has delivered my package to a random address in a different city, has tried to collect COD on item which was paid for, declared a computer printer "leather goods" to customs (leather has a high duty; computer equipment, none), and I found a $600 package of books left at the curb at the end of my dirveway, in the rain. They also delivered somebody else's package to my house once. Even when everything goes "right", UPS is generally slower than Canada Post. These are my personal experiences, out of less than 20 deliveries UPS has made to me. UPS Canada might not be Satan, but they are the most horribly incompetent company I have ever dealt with. I really have no use for a courier company which loses out to Canada Post in every category. I don't generally find it necessary to pay $70 to avoid UPS; you can almost always find a competitor willing to use the post office (cheaper, faster, and incredibly more reliable than UPS). For my Squeezebox, Kawartha sent it to me by Canada Post, no problem.
