I have shipped to Canada and the guy I shipped to wanted it sent USPS because UPS hits him up pretty hard on the fees and tariff. If you insure the package UPS will base it's value on the insured amount. The guy I ship to request that I don't add any insurance and declare a low dollar value on it. The 1st time I sent him something I warned him that if something happened to the package he would be out the money and he said he rather risk it than pay the fees.
