^^^ Yeah, this is sadly my experience as well, I don't want FEDEX: I'm not home when they deliver, can't have it mailed to my work place, so I have to pick it up at their warehouse a galxy far away, and it ALWAYS comes with customs taxes and sh!t. With USPS from US if it's a smaller package I sometimes don't have to pay EXTRA, plus, more importantly for me, I can pick it up at my local post office.
With nutraplanet's shpping options it's really a shot in the dark, you don't know exactly what you're playing for. Nutra can do better here!
