Very interesting statement. Where do you live and how can we help to stop these a-holes?

The high price of being a canadian, Larry. UPS has what they fondly call a "brokerage fee" where
they charge a percentage of the item's cost. On a recent order to the states, just numbers off the
top of my head now... I paid the seller $44 plus $14 dollars shipping and at the door paid the bandits
another $17 dollars to get the package out of his hand into mine. To be fair they do collect the canadian ripoff GST tax (6.5% of US$34) but still it rankles. UPS were the first with the brokerage fee scam but fed x and the others are all doing it now, once they had killed off all the canadian delivery sevices. $50 US to ship one ounce from NY to Victoria is not unheard of. USPS is still the cheapest but so many companies will only ship UPS?

OUmon, the lying scumbag, long ago lost his claim to polite responses from all but the gullible or those that share his poorly masked contempt.

THANKS JM - MY POINT IS THAT A LIAR AKA PB, OUman, OUmon HAS TO LIE TO HIM OR HERSELF FIRST AND THEN MAINTAIN THAT LIE (EVEN AFTER IT BECOMES CLEAR AS BEING A LIE) WHICH PUTS THE LIAR INTO THE SCUMBAG TERRITORY - BEYOND THE ORIGINAL LIAR STATUS.

IF THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SO CRAPPY AS SAID LIAR WANTS EVERYONE TO BELIEVE THEN WHY NOT JUST MOVE ON

PERHAPS THAT IS THE POINT... PERHAPS THE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT SO CRAPPY AND HENCE WHERE THE SCUMBAG COMES IN AND WHY SAID SCUMBAG WORKS SO HARD?

JM, sweetheart, right on cue! So what lies might those be m'dear?

You might be able to get somebody to play that game with you, but it won't be me.  Anybody paying attention knows precisely the heights to which your disingenuousness soars on the creepy meter.

Yep, my bad, misstated again!
