UPS is a courier
A courier will broker your item in to the country
If they sent via postal service, Canada Post only charges $5 to broker it in
Yes this is how it is done
Yes they should have sent it by POSTAL SERVICE
Has nothing to do with "to the border" - duh - has everything to do with the brokerage papers to get it into the country

OK! OK! ENOUGH ALREADY! OK! UPS CHARGES A LOT!...WOWIE!! HEY GUYS, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT PACKAGE!
They have already been paid shipping charges.
and now they want brokerage for bringing the parcel into Canada for you
and the government wants their taxes

duty might very well be 6%
if the item is made outside of North America ... duty is assigned as per already published rates ...
brokerage however is another thing entirely
and if you don't pay the brokerage .. i'm guessing you'll not see your item...

It is incomprehensible to me that a company can just make up fees as they go
UPS provide a service and charge fees for that service.
What is so difficult to understand there?
I asked the woman on the phone if there was a fee for me talking to her !!
I hope you at least had the couth to apologise to her before you hung up. She's just an employee and does not deserve to be spoken to like that.

so... refuse it.. let it go back to the sender....
we have given all kinds of advice and warnings on these forums now for the past few years to avoid having anything shipped via courier ...

Look...If you go buy groceries and you get up to the cashier and you've done your math and know that you should have about $58.00 worth of groceries and the teller says you owe $58.00 plus a $38.00 fee for her touching the till would you pay !!? Of course not !!
To use your analogy:
If, instead of going to the grocery store yourself, you had those groceries delivered to your door, would you expect to pay for that service?
Or would you expect the delivery company to do it for nothing?

well here we again comparing apples to pineapples
ups and every other courier company is PRIVATELY run
National Post Offices are not
PO's have set fee's, courier co's can charge whatever they feel like
You can type til your fingers fall off, it means nothing
It is NOT up to your seller or anyone else to do YOUR homework as an importer
period

They have decided that you live too high on the hog(so to speak) and have levied a charge based on the decision that you should be eating bacon from your own backyard.
I have no idea how you managed to infer any of that from a UPS invoice.
In your righteous indignation you are simply gathering a good head of steam and adding to your list of reasons why you don't think you should have to pay.
Pay, or don't pay, it's up to you, but I think you are devoting way too much time and effort to this.
