[QUOTE="superotaku78, post: 239064, member: 11444"] [b]Re: Discuss" B.C. man sets off class-action lawsuit against UPS over hidden brokerage[/b] Hello all, Well, I'm the latest victim of this hidden fee garbage and wasn't too pleased when I was told I owed $40 on a $60 Ebay item today. Plus of course the $25 shipping charge they already took from me! Within that $40 was about $9 in taxes which I don't mind paying, but to pay over $30 money for essentially nothing is just plain stupid. I love the fact too they have the gull to charge an extra $4.25 for a COD charge I didn't have a choice of using or not. As soon as I got my package I called the UPS customer service and got their rep to walk me through everyone of their charges...conclusion...it's garbage and I told her I will never use UPS again (like she cares, but it made me feel a little better). Unfortunately, I think they're pretty much covered legally because the fee system is listed on their website and all their fine print seems to get them off. They do say we can be charged brokerage fees, it's just not really advertised. I have to agree with some of you that this is what makes them hidden fees. The whole ransom thing on your package is brutal too..."It looks good huh? Do you want it? $40.08 fee!!" :devil: I believe that companies should have the right to charge whatever they want for their services, but should always make these charges crystal clear beforehand. I'm usually really good about doing my homework before buying anything, but this time I got lazy and didn't look into it as much as I should have. This is my fault and I've learned my lesson well...I WILL NEVER USE UPS AGAIN. It's as simple as that. On a side note, I used USPS for a package a couple of weeks ago and wasn't charged anything beyond the initial shipping charge. And it only took a day longer to get here than UPS. [/QUOTE]
