www,usps.com is the cheapest , most secure , least problems with customs , and probably as fast as any other as we ship tons of packages to Canada everyday and we use the Post office .

The cheapest way is through ground service also called Priority Mail.
Sending things to Canada from the US should generally take 6-10 days unless it goes through customs which can take up to 5 weeks. It is hell, trust me.

I have always found USPS to be cheaper than UPS when sending something outside of the US.

Depending what the item it is might be eligible for USPS Media Mail, which is the cheapest option they have. However, you'd have to check their website for acceptable items. Another option would be the FedEx SuperSaver, which is their discounted rate.

wow 6 wks that's a long time. Anyhow it all depends how much the package weighs. So you can go on these companies website and figure out how much your pscksge weighs and dimension, you'll get an estimate that way,

from one country to another it has to go thru customs so that's why it takes so long. You know the folks in customs are either really slow or just lackadaisical in ther conviction to work quickly.

each of the services you mention have a website where you can put in your package's dimensions, weight and where its going for a quote. Since you have online access - USE THEM!
