My experience dealing with with courier imports at work (when staff have unknowningly shipped stuff to work address and then we get dinged with these extra fee bills) has been DHL seems to want payment prior to delivery, while Fed/Ex and UPS are more likely to mailing you an invoices weeks or months later.
Fed/Ex probably wouldn't contact you prior unless you have a customs-clearance brokerage account set up with them, i.e freight or pallet shipments at land crossings.
Probably also depends on point of origin - as DHL seems to be used more by Euro vendors for trans-atlantic shipments, while Fed/Ex is the favourite of American vendors within North America destinations.
I've never had this problem for the two instruments of mine that I bought from US or UK vendors, because I told them explicitly to send by US Parcel Service or Royal Mail. I don't recall paying anything on arrival, not even federal duties to teh gooberments.
