[s-cars] Shipping to Canada via UPS...don't do it!

[Fred Munro]

Hi Robin;

This is true - UPS charges an exorbitant brokerage fee to import packages
from the U.S. into Canada. I usually specify U.S.P.S shipping ($5 brokerage
fee) or FedEx which had no brokerage fee last time I checked (about 6 months
ago). Last time I checked UPS had a higher priced priority service which had
no brokerage fee.

Just in case there are any Canadian's out there thinking of ordering
those parts as a late Christmas present to themselves.  Do not, I repeat
do not use a company that only uses UPS for their delivery's!

I ordered $755 in parts from a certain company who charged a shipping
fee of $79.14; total bill $834.14...Okay I can handle that, but wait,
that's not the end of it, hang on to your shorts or I should say your
wallet!

When the UPS guy arrives at my door with the parts, he wants an
additional $148! (brokerage fee for all their hard work). WTF!  No
warning, nothing saying that bill was coming.  So with nobody home, this
guy leaves 2 of the 3 boxes and writes a note that pretty much says that
they are holding the 3rd box hostage until they get their $148.  And
that I am to leave a cheque in the mailbox for him when he feels like
delivering the 3rd box.
