[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 795741, member: 13555"] The $305 cost for shipping is because no one can ship a package ground or 2 day to pakistan, it has to ship express or express saver only. And as many miles as it has to travel and the number of hands that have to touch that package to make sure it gets to Pakistan, I can see the cost. If your shipment had a declared value of $2000 or so, part of that $705 in brokerage fees includes the duty fees for pakistan to allow it into the country. Duty fees are also based upon the value of the commodity being shipped. I will still go with my first guess that the brokerage firm is trying to pad its pocket a little too much by knowing what is in your package. The only thing I can tell you about the insurance aspect of the shipment is if it was lost, UPS would ask for documentation as to what was in the package to prove its actual value. Meaning, if you insured these coats for $999 and the documentation you had showed they were worth $200, then UPS would only pay the $200 not the $999. And if you insured them for the $999 and they were valued at $2000, UPS would only pay the $999 insured value. [/QUOTE]
