I suspected this was happening, but was unable to get confimation from a US source before.
US buyers now have to do what knowledgeable buyers in Canada do. Calculate the all-in price of various shipping methods.
Anyone who makes the effort will find a nice surprise - for low value, large items, UPS Ground or Fedex Ground can still be less expensive all-in than other shipping methods, especially if the package exceeds the maximum weight or shipping dimensions of Canada Post/USPS.
A few other things:
UPS and Fedex will hit up the shipper for the fees if you don't pay.
DHL may do this as well, but I am not sure what services.
