My experience in shipping the other way has been the same as related
earlier. When in dEurope, there has been occasion to ship purchases back,
usually with UPS or FedEx. It is certain that after delivery, usually by a
delay of several weeks, there is a bill for some sort of customs processing,
ranging for $35-50! I h ave never paid duties on anything, so maybe it's
worth it, but I'm sure it's a scam. No one has ever been able to explain
what was done to bring this on.

I agree with Nathan. My experience of UPS (and DHL) coming to NZ is
exactly the same. Rogues all.
USPS is very reliable.
