I hate getting bent over by UPS/FedEx with insane brokerage fees. So whenever possible I buy from Canadian companies or US companies that will ship USPS or handle their own brokerage. Which companies do you use that are like this?

To get us started here are some of the companies I like:
Lee Valley - Woodworking and Garden tools and supplies is a Canadian company who has a shipping point in the US but Canadian orders are shipped from thier Canadian stores and you can return things to the stores even if you bought them online.
Victoria's Secret handles their own brokerage for nominal fee.
Tiger Direct for electronics though their US site has a much bigger selection.

PS: not affiliated in any way just a happy customer.
