  Well, a couple years ago an E-Bay Item winner from Quebec failed to pay the 
25% Brokerage fee to FedEx. FedEx sent paperwork showing that THEY were billed 
the amount by non affiliated brokerage firm. The fine print in their shipping 
contract allowed them to legally bill me for the amount almost 4 months later 
when I no longer had legal recourse with the buyer.

 I don't think it's all FedEx's fault. There is a middle man
on the border charging a lot for simple paperwork processing or whatever they 
do.

 Probably does work both ways.
