Definitly use US postal service, brokerage fee minimal ($5) or non existant just the GST, sometimes I have been dinged by PST UPS those brown truck #$%^ers will never be used by myself ever again and I will NEVER deal with a company that ships by UPS and does not give the option of regular postal service to Canada. I learned my lesson last season with a small bomber order of about $75 us with $12.95 shipping. It arrived with $54 brokerage fee and some extremely piss poor customer service and an ongoing battle that lasted approx 4 months attempting to deal with UPS's buerocracy.(sp) That was my one and only dealing with UPS. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH UPS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to guess that the other couriers such as fedex etc would be much the same.

Your foot is the identical size to mine (28.5) 11/11.5 street shoe I bought deeluxe suzukas last season in 28mondo with the thermo fit liners. The fitters at fanatyko blew the shell out just a touch on out side edge of foot just back of little toe and just a touch on out side edge of big toe on both boots. After that we molded the liners. I have perfect fit now that the boots/liners are broken in I asked about sqeezing my foot into a 27 shell, they said it could be done but they didnt dislike me that much,(it would have been tiiiiiiight) in summary go for the 28 shell if your foot measures 28.5, the boot shell may require a bit of pushing out laterally by a good fitter but it will be worth it in the long run,

Turtle Wax the car stuff works okay. have heard rumors of pam the cooking spray working.
