I often read about complaints from people using couriers for delivery, mostly online purchases from the US. These are almost always about a "surprise" fee on delivery because they didn't read the delivery conditions and didn't understand that a brokerage fee might be applied. They are also surprised or don't understand that the courier adds in sales tax, as they are required to do. Some US vendors use UPS or Fedex options that already include the clearance fees but many don't, particularly when they don't ship very much to Canada. You can argue about the size of the brokerage fee at times, but it's a legitimate charge. Free trade eliminates duty but all the usual border clearance procedures still apply and there are fees. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jfo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105877 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
