....USPS /Canada Post have "Zero" $0.00" brokerage fees...
That's not quite true. Canada Post applies a $5 processing fee ($8 for priority post packages) to any package it has to broker across the border.
....USPS /Canada Post have "Zero" $0.00" brokerage fees...
I have meeting with UPS next week.
The problem is USPS and Canada Post are completely inept. They constantly lose and damage packages. They have horrible "government worker" attitudes and I'm sick of dealing with them. The bureaucracy is enough to make you vomit. Canada Post is the worse of the two. They lost a package and when I called they basically said "oh well, that sucks".
Just got off the phone with UPS and Fed-X......Brokerage fees for parcels to Canada from USA valued from $1000 to $5000.00 in value...... UPS=$89.00 Canadian..... Fed -X brokerage fees=$72.75 Canadian..That is just the brokerage fee!! Shipping cost and tax on top of that..That's why i stopped shipping with them years ago..USPS/Canada post has zero Brokerage fees. I think eack service has there own service quality issues but my experience in my 50 plus purchases from the USA ..UPS and FedX damaged more and cost more than usps or canada post....Is it the devil you know or the devil you don't know...
Understood Cliff,
But please allow us to use our credit cards to purchase - most of us live within driving distance of the border and would be more than happy to drive across to pick it up.

Yes, the fear is starting to creep in that Canada will be left out from the first few inventories until the rush of orders dies down a bit.
I'm in Montreal myself, but I very much doubt that Cliff would let other markets wait because Canada Post sucks (and UPS too with their hefty brokerage fees!!!)
Possible. But I don't think Cliff is worried at all about UPS brokerage fees.
He supposedly had a meeting with them this week.
