This is why I ship to Canada (and elsewhere outside of the US) via U.S. Mail rather than UPS wherever possible. Rather than paying an unspecified (and often high) brokerage fee, Canadian customers pay a flat fee of CDN $5 (equivalent to about US $0.25 :-) regardless of package weight or value (plus any duty, of course). By the way, I do carry the Delta Six/EuroAmerican products as well, so Canadian customers who need those items and want to avoid those UPS brokerage fees should call me or order them via my website. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. http://www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW |
