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.
What burns me is that they ALREADY got the money with the goods. They were paid to deliver an item described as X to location Y. Then, they come back to the recipient and say "of, you have to pay us to receive your item because we took it across the border and had to do some work (that probably amounted to 5 minutes).
It's a bloody scam
To be a scam there needs to be dishonesty. They are honest about the shipping fees being for shipping alone, with any brokerage fees being a separate line item to be paid as brokerage services are needed.
They certainly do prey on ignorance, though.
