I know that most of the comments pertaining to the shipments have been directed at the quality of the items, the sometimes slow shipping, the poor packaging skills of the shipper, the sometimes non existent communications if problems arise, &/or the incorrect items & amounts sent....
My main concern is still the possibility of having to pay Broker fees & import taxes at my doorstep upon delivery.
I have been informed that buyers have not had to pay anything to the UPS delivery person & also that they may be now shipping from a Canadian address.
However, on their ebay website, it still states that they are being sent from Hebon, KY
They still also have their warning statement: "International items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges."
I have mentioned this to them about a year ago to which they said they would fix their listings (still not done).
In essence for me, their $37 package which consists of some padded plastic envelopes & a couple of rolls of tape has a value to me of about $5. So using my $35 coupon, I would be paying ony $2 to get goods valued at $5. My gain calculated this way is about $3.....not a great deal, but still a good deal.
I have still never used my coupons because of the slight chance that I may have to pay the UPS man at the door the brokerage fee + import taxes ......to which I can just refuse the shipment. Or even worse, for him to drop off the package & later send me a bill for the brokerage fee & taxes a few weeks later.
Just not worth the potential hassle if I'm unlucky in my order. Even with the $35 coupon, I only stand to gain about $3 worth of goods as compared with the wasted time & frustrations in trying to fix matters later
Can anyone confirm that they are now shipping from a Canadian address?
I will also contact the shipper to ask if they are now shipping from Canada to Canadian addresses.
I know from the many feedback comments that this company is not known for their prompt (if any at all) communications.
Thanks.....
