I am sure you all know this, but just in case .... a warning about using UPS to ship stuff from US into Canada.
I just received an order from the US, and UPS charges over $30 for their brokerage fee ... this to collect $3 in GST!!
They charge $20 as a brokerage fee, then $6 for the "bond fee" for the GST, and finally to top it all off, a $5 fee to collect their fee!!!
<And all the fees are hidden under layers of fine prints in their website.>
Needless to say, all these fees ate up any savings we had ordering on-line.
Well, my advice to all Canucks: DON"T ship using UPS. The Post Office (USPS) is far more reasonable & just as reliable!
