Anyone from Canada buying from the US have to pay broker fees when shipped by UPS. I just paid $69 for broker fees on a amp . I taught it was duty charges but no , broker fees. Even with USPS charging a little more for shipping , you may be better off using USPS depending on what the item is.

    Rodney,
    I shipped a pair of HID bulbs to canada in 6" x 6" x 5" box...total weight less than 1lb...
    cost me over $22 just to ship it 1000 miles north via USPS....with UPS it's cheaper to ship...

    def YMMV....

    UPS always charges broker fees when using theri ground service. Try to use USPS ($5.00 broker fee) or pick UPS Air and it is included in the cost, which turns out most of the time to be high.
