I called UPS and they told me that the import fee is $10 if you use UPS Worldwide Saver or expidited.

Is that true? I want to order some stuff from B&H.

What is people's recent experience with the Brown uniform?

The only place I see $10 is the minimum bond fees (if applicable)

You won't get brokerage raped on either service. From the US, the difference really is if your package makes it on the truck for the next day before noon delivery, or you get it the day after.

Depends entirely on how much the overall package is worth.

perfect. B&H is who I am doing an order from... haha

edit:

"To avoid bond fees, call 1-800-PICK-UPS and ask about our Prepayment or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) plans."

Can you, as the customer pay the tax up front to avoid the bond fee when you get the tracking number, or does the shipper have to pay?

sorry, I am not a Noob, but I usually get stuffed shipped USPS to avoid this shit.

I've never been able to prepay with UPS. I try calling and give them my CC #, they won't take it till it hits customs. By the time it hits customs, it's already been paid for by them and they charge COD. Total scam haha.

haha, I guess $10 isn't so bad when shipping is only $35. The purolator option is $10 for shipping, but close to $76 for their pre-clearence option.
