    Best overnight mail to Canada?

    FedEx? DHL? Postal Service?

    Which is the easiest, cleanest, cheapest, most reliable, etc?

    Denver to Toronto, if it matters.

    if it has value (customs/duty) do post.

    not sure if ANYONE does overnight as customs still has to get its shit together

    the rest are about the same

    I'm returning license plates on a car I recently purchased. Not sure what kind of value they have.

    I'd go with FedEx and call them Documents (since, that's really all they are... I don't think they have value.) But by now you've hopefully sent them, or are otherwise about to have the mad 5:00 dash to the local depot...

    we use UPS exclusively for US and fedex for Canada. For some reason the problems we have with fedex here they have with ups there.

    Declare as documents probably easiest. I had some friends that just flew to Montreal today, could have sent them along...

    I not sure there's such a thing as "overnight to Canada." There's always the "plus time spent at Customs" in the fine print. USPS to Canada Post is normally a couple of days even with Customs. I'd put "Ontario license plates", value $0, on the customs declaration. Assuming they're Ontario license plates.
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.
