With TPA you might be tempted to take the cheap UPS shipping, but be prepared to pay UPS an extra $25 or so (?) at the door unless you have a plan to customs clear it yourself.

Next time I order it will be a larger one and I'm taking the non-UPS option instead. :/

No duty added though...I don't know if it's because we don't usually pay tax on unprepared food anyway or if that's normal. I don't do a lot of cross-border shopping.

This is exactly right! Avoid using UPS or Fed Ex when importing because you will get slammed with a large COD bill as I did last month :S ... However, when using United States Postal Service or UK's standard postal service, I did not incurr a single extra charge...

I made a very large order with TPA early last month and while it took approx 2 weeks to ship and clear customs, I received it, along with several others from the US without a problem.

If you keep your order at or under $20.00 you do not pay anything on delivery with UPS ground. I know, under $20.00, right, like that's going to happen...
