RE: I absolutely hate UPS!!!!
I had about $1500 In parts sent to me at my home in Ontario in december from zanottis,they were in two boxes,slip on pipes in one box ,and IDS -adjustable backrest-fuel management and super sucker in the other box,shipping cost was just over $100, not bad because they were big boxes,Zanottis sent them usps with a tracking number,the stuff was here in about 10 days,I tracked it all the way using the usps website and the canada post website, and from the time it got to the border the packages were at my door within two days,the only extra cost was $11.45 which was a Canada post fee for handling the packages,there was no taxes and no duty fees,couldn't believe that I didn't get charged at least for tax! I was so happy with that over the border shopping experience I ordered a set of colour matched fairing lowers about three weeks ago from Zannottis, shipped usps as well and have been tracking them ,they have have been stuck at the border for about a week now and the information on the canada post web site says the package is being reviewed by Canada customs, I think it may be pay back time and I am going to have my jar of vaseline handy for when the mail lady finally shows up with my package,just a thought but it may be a good idea to order parts around Christmas time when the post office is overwhelmed with the amount of packages and maybe they let a lot of stuff go through without Canada customs getting their hands on it.

...I just gat a package shipped into Canada and they charged $40 to ship it. on top of that there is $99 to the governement for duties, on top of that is $65 to UPS for what they call brokerage fees. That is bloody murder. This has got to stop. this in not the first time this has happened to me and I know what the billing is for they are charing $30 per box for a 2 box order with one tracking code. they have done this to me before and this WILL BE THE LAST TIME EVER that I will deal with UPS.

I've dealt with these guys twice. Both times I had to go to another address and pick up my package. They left itat the wrong address.

You say "They charged you....". No they gave you a price and you agreed. You had the option to say no and go elsewhere.

Everybody is claiming these fees aren't charged by the other carriers and that USPS, FedEx and DHL are cheaper than UPS in the first place, than having the shipper charge you another $40 to reship the package would save you $116.

Have everything shipped USPS that way you'll just pay the taxes (Pst/Gst) and a $5 handling fee.
The only way to go!
