USPS and Canada Post work just nicely as well. CP charges $5 for
brokerage, plus taxes, but forgets all charges frequently enough to be
pretty reasonable except for really heavy things.
I have the best of both worlds, with Port Angeles a two hour ferry
ride away, and Mailboxes, etc. being very understanding about a pile of
computers in their place. Try Blaine, Detroit, Buffalo, etc. if you're
close enough!
