I have had no duty fees or of the sort when I have traded or bought something from the states, ever.

Yeah, I've found stuff to take 1-2 weeks (usually exactly 2 days short of 2 weeks from the US), and like you, I've always found stuff that I've sent to the states to take less time. The USPS is probably better because they're more accustom to dealing with volume & things in general, and of course because their cities aren't as widespread. That's what I've heard anyway, and I guess it makes sense.

Then when it comes to duties, I've had to pay a couple of times, both of which were from online stores not board members (they were also like 2-300 dollar orders that had to come in large boxes), and it was like 6 & 17 dollars I think. Other than that, I haven't had any issues. I still find it funny that it's cheaper to buy from someone at the far end of the states than it is to buy from someone 4 hours from me, but that's how Canada Post rolls, and I guess that's why they've apparently been making so much money compare than the USPS.
