I brought this up with the vendors, and most refuse to use USPS due to problems they have had. Fedex and DHL are options, but you should ask before ordering as every vendor is different. Some still do USPS for international.

What you should not ask for is them to lower the claimed value as this is illegal/against regulations

 

off topic, damn theres alot of canadian peeps that live in edmonton, surrounding areas we should meet :P
