TrumpetMaster - View Single Post - Purchasing Stuff from US into Canada via UPS and other "couriers"

Hi All,

Ed's right on the money, as it were. Shippers, when you send something by UPS,
the shipping cost which you pass on to the buyer only gets the item as far as the US/Canada border. Big Brown then tacks on a "brokerage" fee plus the usual taxes and then has the colossal nerve to recharge another fee to deliver the item the buyer has already paid initial shipping costs for. Please send us stuff by USPS. That way we don't have to pay duplicate shipping and "brokerage" fees.
Thanks from the Great White North.

Cheers,

Brian
