UPS deliveries from states?? Fees?
Anybody know anything about this statement?
UPS will collect additional taxes, duty, and customs brokerage charges prior to delivery. Please contact your local UPS office for estimates of these charges.
OE Pirellis are at an all time low on Tire Rack right now, $462 CAN for a full set shipped to Canada.
Anybody know what the UPS penalties are, or how I can avoid them with a different carrier?
Cheers,

Don't know about that, but I will never ship another item by UPS, after they F***ed up a cedar chest I built for my niece, and insured. They refused to honor the insurance, claimed it wasn't their fault they delivered it upside down, and dropped ot off the delivery truck.

For me I live in Toronto, and had my FFRP exhaust shipped to a UPS store in Niagara Falls and they charged me $11 to receive it ($5 for small, $10 for medium and $15 for a large package); saving the brokerage fees
However I was over in the US for over 4 hours taking pictures and such, so I had a reason to be there besides picking up my exhaust

I have a buddy who works at the border... I bet he'd love to hear your story :P
As for brokerage..yes UPS charges crazy ammounts.
Check on their site, its based on dollar value of the product being shipped

You know just like how all the phone companies just got nailed for over charging us and then the CRTC letting them keep that and not giving it back ! We should launch something to stick it to UPS

Just a thought.....I live in NY, 15 minutes from the Prescott bridge. If any of you guys close to me want to have something sent to my house, then pick it up here, that's not a problem.

Usps Is Cheaper Than Sending Ups To Canada. My Canadian Customers Always Prefer Going Usps.

check the prices on http://www.tiretrends.com/ they are based out of Vancouver and apparently their prices are very competitive.
Brokerage fees are pretty steep

CJ: Since you're in Ottawa., why not do what my friend does. He buys goods in the States on e-bay and has bought tires and tire-and-wheel combinations from The Tire Rack, and he has them sent to his name, care of the UPS Store in Ogdensburg, NY.
The UPS Store charges $5 to hold something and UPS gives you Internet tracking, so you just wait for it to arrive, then skeedaddle two hours down the 416 and across the bridge, then another 2 miles or so along Route 812, pick them up and cross back over.
He always tells Cdn and US border officials exactly why he's going to the US, declares everything when he comes back, and Cdn Customs converts the purchase price to Cdn $$, then charges him PST and GST. He has never paid customs brokerage charges nor been charged any form of duty.
Address of the UPS store is:
The UPS Store
2981 Ford St. Extension
Gateway Shopping Centre
Ogdensburg, NY
13669
email: store2946@theupsstore.com
Shipments arrive after 12:00 noon on the arrival date. Take with you receipts and proofs of purchase for the return to Canada. That UPS Store is full of stuff for Canadians and there are always stacks of tires. It's cool!
