    Give suggestion

    UPS is not very flexible, nor is Canadian customs. UPS tells you they need the number but in reality they would never use it - UPS will contact the sender if they have a delivery issue - not the receiver. Canadian customs will not contact by phone. Simply give them the CIC's 800 number.
