We have a winner. INSIST on USPS (United States Postal Service) or say there will be no sale, if they balk ask for the next person up the totem pole, they always cave even though it may mean a bit more leg work for them. You are the customer afterall and as if ANY company down there doesn't send/recieve surface mail.

Canada Post, USPS, Lufteposte and the Royal Mail have all been excellent to deal with and at a fraction of the cost courier companies and have excellent tracking websites.

Call it relationship building or networking, at the time I was modding the Focus I got to be first name basis with countless suppliers, saved a ton of dough and only kids rely 100% on the internets. If you're ordering online NEVER be afraid to pick up the phone and talk to a human especially since it is usually a 1-800 number anyway.
