nige Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Any of my fellow canucks that have ever ordered something from the states and had it shipped via UPS can feel this guy's pain: CBC story I think i'll email him and lend him my support. When I ordered my Alpine radio, they dinged me with $60 worth of 'brokerage fees' on a $200 parcel. That's why i'll never buy anything from american online retailers unless they use USPS for shipping (hint-hint Rugged Rocks ). They have never charged me more than $10 brokerage fees on anything i've ordered from the states.

96SE Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I hope it goes through! I try not to order anything from the states simply because I'm scared of the man in the big brown truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
