I never allow anyone to ship to me through UPS from outside Canada. They have this sweet scam that lets them collect shipping fees then add custom duties and then, just because they can, add 20-30 bucks for brokerage fees that hits you about a month later.
To get a 10 dollar item, it can easily run over 50 bucks in shipping fees using UPS. Avoid them like the plague.
i got burnt by UPS a couple of years ago
$35 customs brokerage fee surprise when they deliver plus taxes
.......s
never again
anything from the US must come USPS for me to buy
Canada Post charges $5 for customs broker fee plus taxes if they can figure out what it is you have ordered
i've not been charged on anything coming from the far east
probably because they can't read the paperwork, i can't either
