Just a money making scam - 110%

It costs no more or no less to clear a $10 item as it does a $10.000 item.

Canada Post charges $5 for a brokerage fee no matter how much the item is.

UPS also charges a fee to pay the tax too and it is also very hard if not impossible to appeal their decisions if they make a mistake - you are at there mercy. They are scam artists all the way.

No, I am not bitter - just pissed off at UPS for screwing me every chance they get...
