Jim: I know all about what your saying. I had the free IH gas caps land at my door via Courier. He wanted a Brokerage fee. I told him to shove them where the sun don't shine. Four days later he left them on my back step when no one was home.
US and Canadain postal service are good but they have weight limits, then it gets farmed out to a Courier. I've also heard about the advice Jim Becker speaks of in his post. There are surprises with that as well.

He said, "You may as well get in the truck and go home to Watford."
