raped by UPS!

[littledan]

damn.. i bought some parts of some guy on honda-tech.com from the states. I asked him not to send it UPS ground but he did anyway. Package shows up and the brokerage fee is $50. I only bought $50 worth of parts...:banghead: then to top it off he sent me the lighter when i had asked for the lighter socket... shit i already have the lighter... oh well

[bol]

haha
well i got a collection notice in the mail today from a collection agency hired on behalf of UPS

they were after me for $53.34

lol

how many threads have we had bashing UPS?

I ended up paying close to 170usd for a set of 99usd plug wires, only $16 of that cost was shipping the rest was "brokerage". Never again. I always ask what method of shipping the seller/company uses, if they say UPS I say no deal.

So now you have way less money and you're supremely pissed off. I guess BROKER/RAGE is the right word for it.

I freakin' hate that.

My friend just bought a manifold from a wreckers for $36 USD and had to pay $30 cdn to get it.

I've been raped by them too and refused to pay the brokerage of like $30 on two freakin' tee-shirts worth like maybe $50 cdn. So they sent a collection agency after me... :banghead:

:guns: UPS brokerage

That's UPS Ground for ya... Ship via air...brokerage fee is much lower (if any at all)...

[rage2]

You guys still can't beat me. I bought a $2 antenna which was shipped via UPS. The taxes were about 30 cents. The brokerage bill was $50+GST + 30 cents. $60 for a $2 part.

I bought a faceplate for my cellphone for $10us and the final bill was $79cdn :thumbsdow

could you not just never get the package and be out the 2 bucks, rather than 50?

never thought of that... otherwise people could just send you stuff you don't even want and screw up your credit?

Probably not, I'm pretty sure UPS will hunt you down for customs brokerage fees regardless if you accepted the package or not.

Actually I had a package sent UPS, I said I didn't want to pay the brokerage fees and I didn't want the package. They said they would keep it in their warehouse for X days where I could go and pick it up and pay for it, if I changed my mind. Afterwards they just do something with the package, I don't remember what.

I did give in and pay for it though!

I am familiar with this. They find you, they make you pay. Its better to just pay up front. A fellow Ebayer of mine tried to evade them and not pick up his item as the brokerage was more than the item was worth. Well they destroyed his credit, and sent him a letter every single day.
