bobfrombob Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Have you been getting hit with HST charges more than usual? I have gotten at least 4 in the past two or three weeks and I usually get one every six months or so. I can live with the tax but couriers are charging $10 brokerage fees on top.

fozzyb Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I usually don't get hit with tax or fees unless my order is over $100 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I got charged like crazy for the DCFC boxset....and the "free" replacement records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Luckily there isn't HST in Saskatchewan so I haven't had that problem. I had to pay duty/brokerage on my NOFX box set but that's the only thing I've had since I started buying vinyl. Once back in high school I had to pay duty on a Interpunk order for a few CD's an a t-shirt. I guess I've been lucky so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobfrombob Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Maybe just coincidence then. It's only been very recently. It feels like every courier is taking every package to customs which wasn't my experience in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 If it's shipped USPS it transfers to Canada Post and you'll never pay a fee. UPS and DHL will fuck you with brokerage fees though. gabpower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojie Horsie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 always pick usps. i never have to pay unless its something huge and even then its less than 50% chance. gabpower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbyaaahxx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yea, couriers will fuck you every time, doesn't matter what it is. To this day, I have never received a DHL/UPS/Fedex package without paying. USPS on the other hand, once in a very blue moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadItUpToHere Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Reiterating what everyone else has stated. UPS screwed me once...never again... With USPS I never pay anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoured Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 UPS is horrible when it comes to brokerage fees. That's the main reason to never order from Popmarket. I think I have only had to pay maybe twice over the past decade when stuff was shipped with USPS. I hate how some labels (mainly Century Media) have 50% off sales, but they put the full cost on the customs sticker so you have to pay more tax than you're supposed to plus the fees they charge for collecting the tax. Rant complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
