Sorry if this question as be asked before.

I'm wonder what other Canadians think is the best way to ship a bass - either from or to Canada? I'm mostly interested in your experiences shipping between USA and Canada. I have found UPS the most expensive when it comes to custom clearance fees.

I won't ever use UPS, they seem to be absolutely set on ripping people off on cross-border shipping.

I just use plain old Canada Post, it works great. They just introduced tracking on international shipping, so they've caught up with the rest of the world (g'job!).
I've only had a couple items go missing when shipping overseas, just recently had a neck vanish, but other than that, mostly spotless record.

Just make sure that you always ship within at least a softcase inside of a well packed cardboard box.
