[QUOTE="hoser, post: 131441, member: 6357"] [b]Re: Discuss[/b] The one huge flaw is that ALL courier companies charge "hidden" brokerage fees. Difference is, UPS' is the most expensive. CanadaPost is $5 FedEx Express is $7 FedEx Ground is min. $10 UPS is $25 for shipments over $100 (where there's a 6% sales tax charged). A flaw in the argument that the fee from UPS is not hidden. A courier comes to the door, says $XX.XX has to be collected, and it's paid. Refuse, pay nothing, and it's sent back. Furthermore, CanadaPost, while cheaper, processes ALL international ground shipments through Vancouver or Toronto ONLY, adding another week to transit time to certain places (like Regina or Winnipeg). Two ports of entry while UPS has at least 25 Ports of Entry in Canada. The line that "UPS doesn't allow customers to clear their own shipments" is complete BS. I cleared my own stuff through our centre a month ago without incident, and the call centre had no clue I was an employee. Unlike FedEx Ground or Purolator where you receive a bill in the mail 2 weeks after delivery. Now THAT is worthy of a lawsuit. [/QUOTE]
