U.P.S false broker chargesand fees
Summary: The discussion centers around the frustration with UPS's broker charges and fees when sending parcels between the US and Canada. darlor-watch advises Canadian sellers that they can broker their US parcels themselves by requesting forms from UPS to avoid extra charges. The participant accuses UPS of being greedy, prompting discussions about broker fees. itolduandso expresses confusion over the original post, questioning whether the issue pertains to selling or importing goods, while marnotom! clarifies that the $2 charge refers to UPS Canada's 'demand surcharge.' Anonymous User shares their own experience of avoiding UPS fees by clearing items through customs themselves, though they refrain from labeling UPS as a 'dirty company.'
Please be advised, As a Canadian seller YOU CAN broker your US parcels yourself. Ask U.P.S. to send you the forms via email, fill them out send them back , make a copy for yourself and they MUST accept them so you can save the cash grab fees. As pertaining to the 2.00 parcel to Canada from the USA there will be law suit afer law suit shortly. I stopped buying from sellers that use U.P.S it is a dirty company that are greedy and many parcels come damaged less the great delivery people out there. U.S.P.S is your best be from U.S.A to Canada,,,,, 30 years experience telling you this.

·1 year agoYou are correct about UPS graft. I always refused to pay them, drove to the customs warehouse about a mile away, and cleared the item myself for nothing. UPS actually mailed me invoices from their head office for this stuff!
I wouldn't call them a 'dirty company' though ...

·1 year agoI am a little confused because you say "as a seller in Canada" but then you say "As pertaining to the 2.00 parcel to Canada from the USA ".
So are you selling to US buyer or are you buying from US importing to Canada as a buyer.
Regardin $2 broker fee, that seems to me a bargain price. I would do that any time? From what I reading the broker fees of UPS are $10 and up, the more pricey item, the more broker fee.
If you are importer, the import would be processed by Canada Post or UPS Canada so it's them you would be paying.
