Whenever we use regular fedex or ups... we get dinged with stupid brokerage fees....
is there anyway to get something fast and avoid the silly charges... I know regular usps will work, but that also might take forever, and the tracking does not work once it enters the border....
any ideas appreciated, thx

Good luck finding that in the states...
USPS is your best option... you can pay more if you want faster delivery times. If you ship courier, make sure you choose the expedited delivery (brokerage included) and not GROUND.

+1 USPS best bet
just pay for faster option
Canada Post should be offered at most major post offices in the states. IIRC a little more expensive than USPS, but I believe you can get xpresspost (2 day).

You aren't going to find Canada Post services offered anywhere in the US, just as you won't find US Postal Service offiered anywhere in Canada.
If you want to compare or review their services:

use fedex, with it's express option and not ground and you'll be fine.

Tracking doesn't work because your probably entering it into the USPS website. Once a package enters Canada, CP takes care of updating all the tracking information.
