Dear importer 

When in Canada ... Instruct the USA shipper NOT (that is so not) To use UPS ... To ship to Canada ... UPS uses. Broker service that will hold your product ransom .... Often for the same amount of $$ that your part is worth

Tell ur shipper to send fed ex or postal only 

UPS is great in country but a disaster on international to Canada 
Regards

There must be a lifetime of thought in the last second if we are to live from moment to moment.
