I looked that up, and it sounds like they might be using FedEx or UPS to act as the broker, to speed things through Customs by collecting the taxes and fees from the sender (rather than the recipient) and then remitting them to the proper authority in Canada.
My packages from them (CT) have always been delivered by Canada Post...anything through UPS usually gets to me with Purolator...Now FedEx, I'm not sure of, so that could be...but would FedEx hand off to Canada Post? I don't know if they would or not? I do know that my shipping and taxes from them have never come close to the brokerage fees of UPS that I have to pay on delivery ($42. and change, every time, which is why I try not to order when I know they'll be the shipper).
