I prefer USPS to be honest. And ask the shipper to do the customs form themselves -- it takes 2 minutes to fill out, and while you'll still have to pay duty and likely HST, you'll avoid the $45+ brokerage fee.
Same as if you ship UPS or Fedex -- offer to do the customs declaration yourself and you should save on the (insane) brokerage fees.
The only real way to get around the duty and taxes is to have someone declare it as a gift on the customs form, but be careful -- that's technically fraud IIRC.
