I called  UPS today, trying to find out about specific brokerage fee for a
package I may  send to Canada. I got transfered around, and recieved 4 different
telephone  numbers, getting to the bottom of this.I even got the brokerage
house in  Ottawa Canada. This guy could not give me the price.I started thinking
that  they didnt want to give this information out. Dont want to blow  a real
 money maker ,up there. I finally got there with this number
1-800-263-8125. The young UPS lady does know her stuff, and here it is....  There is NO UPS
brokerage fee on items valued at less than $20 Canadian.She  can even give you
the daily exhange rate, on request. $20 Canadian turns out  to be about
$17.50 US(today). Also the brokerage fee is included in the  shipping price for any
UPS air shippment. So, big deal 20 bucks? What can you  buy in America for
$20 Canadian? How about a set of stainless steel screws for  the exterior of
your Vanagon? _http://stores.ebay.com/werksforwagens_
