Easy way to beat UPS "anal rape charge" is to have the package addressed to Your Name Co. UPS will see the Co at the end and assume you're a company and will be clearing the parcel yourself and expect YOU to do everything. It usually involves going to their customs office, getting the paperwork, going to CBSA and clearing it (really, just show them the paperwork and pay the taxes), then bring it back to UPS and you get your parcel a LOT cheaper.
Of course not using UPS is preferable, but if you have no other choice this may save you a few bucks.
