[rebel-builders] Custom's fee
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:26 am
The expedited delivery services like UPS and Fedex etc like to charge
hefty brokerage fees on anything they bring into Canada from the US. Its
not a customs fee or a duty - smells like a racket to me. It also sounds
like you have been stung by the same guys. The usual way around this is
to use USPS for shipping from the US - then the fee is only $5. It
probably works like that going the other way except Canada Post's rates
are higher than USPS rates by a fair bit. Wayne may have a comment on
this one too.

The reason I try to find a U.S. source for items such as rivets is that
there is a customs fee slapped on items shipped from Murphy (Canada of
course) to U.S. addresses. For instance, I just got some wing ribs and
there was a B.S. $45 customs fee on top of shipping. Nancy is indeed
wonderful, but she can't bypass the government imposed crap.

...here we go again guys...forget what I said. Buy'm where ever the ... you
like..... Not out to "Burn" anyone and this isn't grade school !
I can email Nancy today for rivets and they'd be out before dark tomorrow!
Maybe she just likes me...but whining/down talk helps you get nowhere in a
suppliers "books". If that's the tact you take then it may be 9 months for
you next time.....
