EXACTLY! Never UPS to Canada. Ever.Been there, done that! UPS "broker" = highway robbery! In the future, if you buy something from US/overseas, ask sellers to ship using either EMS or USPS Global Priority. FedEx is great too (with NO brokerage fees, I might add!).

Broker fees are usually around $5.00 aren't they? Or is that the road fee?

I thought Fed Ex was expensive too.
I knew UPS would be expensive - I wasn't really paying attention when I bid - I thought it said USPS. I thought I was getting a deal - not after all the fees
It was a cles worth $150. The same day I got some Shoes worth $250 shipped USPS and the total fee on that was $25.
But what IS a broker - what the heck does 'he' do? (I remember getting stuff shipped to my school through FedEx and they called to ask if I had a broker - I was like - huh??)
Also - How do I get a job like that at $40 a pop LOL
your so cute Nyria.. lol.. had to say that, but i have no idea what the broker does either!

Here you go... I avoid UPS and Fedex, to the point I now don't bid on items if they will not ship USPS. Each company has a list of fees they charge, usually based on the value of the item.
