I outright refuse to deal with anyone that ships UPS only from outside Canada unless the order is under $20, where they can't charge you brokerage fees. And if a seller ships UPS when they were supposed to ship via another method, I'll refuse to accept the package. UPS have fucked me way too many times. I'm never giving them another penny of my money.

Nope. Goes by the total value of the package...
You pay the PST and GST, which go right to the government, any CBSA handling charges (may or may not be applicable), and UPS' ludicrous brokerage and handling fees plus fuel surcharges, etc.. based on the value of the package. I'm not sure their exact formula they use, but it pretty much ends with you bent over, a stiff one up your ass, and no reacharound. And as an extra bonus, they also charge you GST on the brokerage fee as well.

UPS Brokerage Fee Breakdown
http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shi...clearance.html This is the form to self clear shipments into Canada http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/...d1-4-1-eng.pdf average wait time at CBSA offices is about 2-3 hours, and they're only open during bank hours so most of you who are gainfully employed are probably better off just paying the fee. |

damb postal workers. Did you know that if you put the return address where the mailing address goes and the the mailing address where the return address goes on a letter and happen to forget to put a stamp on it. Then it gets mailed for free! return to sender no postage!

So basically for $151 package, it breaks down like this...
Brokerage fee - $29 GST on brokerage ~ $1.75 PST / GST on the $151 value of the package ~$20 $5.85 - Bond fee Have roughly $50 ready for UPS when they drop off the package if it was shipped UPS Standard. And that's only if the CBSA didn't decide to open / assess your package. By comparison, it would cost you about $30 in customs / brokerage if the package would have been sent via USPS instead of UPS. Canada Post charge a flat rate of $10 for brokerage fees, regardless of the cost of your package. And that's IF they charge it at all. I've had packages come from abroad where I was planning on $50+ fees and got charged nothing.

I talked to U.P.S and they said that it is sitting at customs waiting to be cleared.None of those items I listed could be confiscated could they?

Any of them COULD be, just like anything else. They most likely won't though.
