Canada Post doesn't typically charge brokerage either. If they do, it is a $5.00 flat fee.

However, UPS is the *worst* shipping method to Canada. Their brokerage fees alone are in the $50.00+ range -- oftentimes more than cost of the actual item.

For that reason, I have never used UPS for the past ten years, and would rather refuse to buy from sellers exclusively using UPS.

USPS is the best option for US/Canada purchases. After that, everyone else, and then UPS last!

Yes, time to bust out the industrial-sized KY..

UPS domestic is fine, internationally, it's prison rape..

I was charged 55$ brokerage on a 25$ phone. And they had me in collections for months cause I didn't pay what they claimed I owed..which I never did. months of faxing and calling to clear my name.. never again.
