I'm usually pretty reluctant to criticize any postal service, especially given the last 18 months, but this is ridiculous.
@justincarothers sent me 4 sample chips, shipped on June 15, and delivered
today, July 26. And it cost $28.50 !!

And based on the tracking, the delay was not with Canada Post, nor even Customs. Purely USPS' fault:

Now, I've had some really good USPS experiences in the last month or two, stuff going Canada-to-USA in like 6 days. Plus I've seen plenty of domestic shipments talked about, that were really fast deliveries (thinking about the latest Chip Room sale, for example.)
So I feel a little bit insulted by USPS, that an international shipment took over a month to go from one facility to the next WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. Thanks very much for allocating appropriate resources to international mailings...
