UPS brokage fee brokage, UPS, fee

beamsboy

Just wanna ask any LYK use UPS as a shipping courier before?
or receive parcels that was send by UPS before?
if yes, do they charge brokage fee everytime on everything?
cos last time i bought a jacket online and it was sent by UPS, end up they charge me $40
my frd taught me to clear customs myself, have to run back and forth,
but that saved me $30, it was only $9 sth when i clear customs myself
now i just ordered sth online again and find out they're using UPS again,
so just want to know if they charge brokage fee everytime

can any lyk share their experience?
thanks thanks

I've heard about this place before, but how does it work? Do I need to notify them before I order stuff and ship there?

My colleague used this place many times.  I was told that before you order, you have to call your Credit Card company and add the Point Roberts Shop as your additional address.  Otherwise, most shops won't ship to an unregistered address.

Send to Point Robert, pick it up and clear custom yourself.

If you want to avoid brokerage fees with most major shipping companies, make sure the declared value of the item is $20 or less. Then they won't charge a brokerage fees unless it's a taxable item like clothes.

Otherwise, your best bet is USPS/Canada Post which charges the least amount

If u do have account with UPS, and have discount, they should not charge that much of fees.

My friend just went to UPS to flight back his brokage fee ..  etc ..  save $86, but costed him like 2 plus hr ..  

Sigh ..  so u can do your own declare ..  but cost your time!

I have tried FedEx, even worse. They send you a bill for tax and brokerage a week later. USPS (CanadaPost) charges about $7 brokerage per $100 last time I use it.

UPS Ground (Standard) is subject to brokerage. Use FedEx or other carrier will save the hassle.
