Yeah if you think that's bad, ever bought something from the USA that was shipped UPS ?
Mother%&(#@ !!! brokerage fees are NUTS !
Having to pay taxes/duty is understandable but these jokers ripped me off many times.
Last time I had bought something for $45 and they wanted $35 when it came to my door !!!
Never again, I won't buy anything sent by UPS...ever !

X46!!! UPS sucks!!!
The brokerage fees that UPS charge Canadians for foreign shipments are a complete and utter ripoff. I forgot to specify that I wanted my Powerwinch parts shipped US Postal service from Colorado, so of course a UPS truck shows up a week later. An $80 part was charged $29 "brokerage fees" by UPS. A$$holes!! I googled the issue, and came up with a link to a process for customs clearing a UPS or other courier shipments yourself. I also phoned the Canada Border Services Agency to confirm the accuracy of the article. The woman that I spoke with says it is correct. Here you go:
