[B]They ship by UPS Express, which I believe would take care of duty costs. Anyone tried them out?

*DO NOT* use UPS to ship from US. Sure they'll handle the tax for you in advance, but you'll still end up paying for it -- this is true regardless of which courrier you use. The reason why you shouldn't use UPS is because they charge an exorbitant amount for 'brokerage' fees. A friend of mine bought something for $5USD, paid his duties, etc.. Guess what he had to pay for 'brokerage' on top of duty? $15 CDN, and I kid you not! These brokerage fees are variables, and nobody's able to figure 'em out. You should get them to send via USPS or something, which charges a flat rate.

Cheers.
