Iām so tired of giving UPS UK my money- what is that fee, a tax? A UK tax?
Which fee? Itās like $20 for shipping and it arrives faster than shit from the next state over?
US orders donāt have to pay VAT either, hell I think we get stuff cheaper than UK residents do from Trampa even with the shipping.

Iāve paid over $100 in shipping charges for each of the last 3 times Iāve ordered from them.
This is just the brutal reality of international shipping. Itās been the same for a long time. But especially bad currently
I think youāre missing the cheaper drop down option for shipping. It defaults to āExpress Serviceā that yes, is over $100, but if you look through the options, thereās one that runs roughly $20 for most stuff Iāve orderedā¦ You have to look for āUPS Worldwide Saverā option in the shipping dropdown.
I just checked and even for a complete fullsize board from them, 4 day worldwide saver, was only $86 at current exchange, and the āComplete Mountainboard Bull-barā setup is approx $20 as I said. At least to me here in the mountains of western NC.
I will be the first to admit however, that their website is confusing, yes.

No, I choose the cheapest option, which is usually about $40. Itās the additional $60 that UPS collects from me upon delivery that takes it over $100.
Yup thatās the ups fuck around.
Iām not US based, but itās always the same.
Shipping seems reasonable, you order and than there is a fee for this and that, if it hit the tax free limit you need to pay a broker to make the import documents for you etc etc.
I think I topped out at 130ā¬ for delivery on a 150ā¬ order once (standard shipping, no express)

Iāve never been hit with anything from UPS, and get lots of shit from international, the limits on personal goods from most countries are reasonably high per year and most of the time customs doesnāt seem to even bother for non-business customers from most countries, unless thereās a trade dispute.
What does UPS claim the fee is?
A brokerage fee.

The brokerage fee is a scam. Hold on let me find the guide
Are you in USA ? Itās rare but Iāve seen it. Usually Canadians get his with it. Iām unsure why you see them at all. Into USA should be no problem under $800

Yeah for sure, I know you guys get hit with it all the time, definitely get my sympathies. I just meant here in the USA, Iāve rarely gotten any customs fees. Although businesses will usually.
you think that would fit with 6396ās? Canāt tell by the angle if the motors would clear.
Yes, Iāve been reading about being my own broker, and self clearing my own packages. Iām going to try it next time they try to get me.
