With the shipping they charge, it's almost 50% extra on the cost of the order. In comparison, I shipped US$9500 of solar batteries across the border last month and paid $170 to a reputable broker that actually had to do some work.

What unmitigated scumbags.

Someone should just set up shop at a border crossing and have their only job be brokering shipments across the border.

There are (or were as of a couple of years ago) still a couple of transshipment firms around whose business revolves around receiving packages from within the US and sending them on to Canada in consolidated batches for a bit more than cost. Thing is, I don't think they'll deal with UPS either. πŸ˜’
