Parts Arrived!!!

Finaly got my parts out of Canada Post....
Only took them 28 days to stare at the package.
And...they put one small label on it.
Only charged me an extra $30 for this indescribable service!!!

Well, thats still 100s cheaper than what UPS would have charged you.... UPS usually gets away with 40% of the sale value. They asked me 48CAN$ to clear a 80CAN$ package. Now THATS service!

Oh Crap! A seller just put a package en route to me from Toronto via UPS! Beeoch!

The package was dropped off this afternoon, how long does it usually take them. Do they send you an invoice for the fees, then deliver?

Use your headbone, Bob!
Use a maildrop in Blaine, Lynden, or Sumas, and clear the packages through customs yourself. You can thank me later!

I dont know on the other side of the border, but from US to Canada, you have to pay upfront when they deliver the goods.
Another option - if you insist going UPS - is to use a better service, like 2nd day Air. In that case, the duty fees are included in the shipping rate. Sometimes its cheaper that way, sometimes not.

On my side, i NEVER use UPS again. I simply refuse the package when it arrives. I always advise the seller not to use UPS.
