Shipping bikes to Canada

[Bostonbiker]

I'm trying to ship my bike to a bike shop in Canada (Banff) but I've been warned that it could be held up by customs...Any advice?  I am willing to try any routes, even paying a premium.  UPS says the issue is that the customs officials may question whether the bike is staying in Canada (no, I'm biking back into the States) or whether it's going to be sold in Canada (no again).  I could fly with the bike, but it would be a hassle with a flight connection, and then putting it together once I arrive in Calgary.  Suggestions are most welcome!  Thank you.

The big question is why would Canada worry about the bike staying in Canada? Since the Loon is worth more than the green back. Some silly things die hard!

May the wind at your back always smell like home.
