TNT and UPS are not the same.  This is what Rich With Cards posted:

I havent dealt with TNT recently but seem to remember them asking for payment upon delivery. With parcel force you normally get a letter sent out to advise that there is a customs charge to pay before they try to deliver it. DHL will deliver first but then send a customs invoice afterwards. UPS will normally deliver and ask for payment upon delivery.
Either way you will pay an extra 20% based upon the shipment value if over £36.

Steve: USPS parcels are normally delivered by Parcel Force, TNT is a different carrier altogether as is DHL. Some US sellers use DHL to send the bigger stuff abroad - trust me, DHL are definitely nothing to do with either USPS or Parcel Force.
Rich's advice is absolutely sound as he's dealt with all of them.
