If one can avoid it, one should NEVER use UPS to ship to Canada....
They have some bizarre relationship with the "Crown's Tax
Collector".... I remember customers having to pay a UPS processing fee
of $50 on top of taxes, shipping, et al...
FEDEX or USPS to the Great White North!

Update:
The KPA1500 left Elecraft on 20 Dec 2019, and arrived in Mount Hope,
Ontario 21 Dec 2019, with a guaranteed delivery to me on 23 Dec 2019.
And the KPA1500 is still in Mount Hope, Ontario, due to no fault of
Elecraft, Canada Customs, Weather and myself.
UPS is the most useless carrier I have ever dealt with, and after
clearing customs they would not allow the KPA1500 to be picked up in
person even after taxes etc had been paid. Actually they wanted taxes
paid prior to going into Canada Customs. Just a note for Elecraft, I
will be sending a complete timetable of all the events that have
transpired, and maybe they can also get a FedEx shipping account as I
have had nothing but great success dealing with FedEx.
UPS says I might see the package on 31 Dec 2019, heavy emphasis on might.
The Christmas Grinch arrived at this shack.
Hopefully everyone is having a Merry Christmas...
