I have found that stuff shipped USPS arrives without a pile of extra charges such as brokerage fees and a collection fee for collecting GST. In addition, if you're not home when the package arrives, the Post Office will take it to the nearest Postal Outlet for pickup, unlike the courier services.
The last parcel I got shipped from the USA via courier, the extra charges on a pre-paid shipment exceeded the cost of the item. Now, I always specify USPS as a means of delivery.
