[TechAssist] Re: Problems receiving parts from the USA to Canada

If a courier is used there is a brokerage charge at the border of up to
$40 Canadian, no matter what the value of the parts is.  Once I needed
an IC for an ADI monitor and the IC cost $12.50, the minimum order was
$25 (so I had to order 2), and the company would only send via UPS.  The
final price after the brokerage fees and shipping was over $80, or $40
for each IC.

Hi, just wondering, I checked my UPS cost for a 1 lb. to Ontario and it
is
$11.  A 1 pounder via the US Mail goes for around $7.  What other fees
do
you have to pay if it is sent via UPS versus the Post Office?  Do the
UPS
shipments come in faster?

I have one guy in Ontaio that orders and has me send UPS instead of the
post
office, does the higher cost of UPS delivery mean faster delivery
usually?

Which way do you think is best now?

Just trying to get it straight and find the best way to service you
gentlemen up north.
