There is always the misconception of the dreaded UPS Brokerage fee on all incoming packages. This is not true. As Pipeous and Trash Metal mentioned. Anything Express OR by AIR shipping method (like the UPS Super Saver, UPS Expedited and UPS Express)...you don't get raped by brokerage fee. Only the HST Tax that we have. That's it! It comes to you faster and tracking is more reliable than USPS/Canada Post.

I learned this here in ORRC as well. It was Trash Metal who mentioned this (I think). I tried ordering from AMainHobbies in the morning, got it the following day. Or the most is 3 days (Super Saver). The shipping quote cost less than USPS Priority and when the item got here, just the tax for the item is what I pay for. Ever since, all of my orders from AMain are by air. All orders are more than $150 and not less than $250 and no, not a single brokerage fee.

Just don't have your items brought in by UPS Ground.
