Jason, UPS charges heavy brokerage fees, like $35.00. It does depend on the weight and expense of the parcel. Like I mentioned another time, please try to ship everything to Canada via the post office. They only have a $5.00 brokerage fee. I can't figure out the guy who wants the packages shipped UPS. Don't let him confuse you on the subject. Post ofice, post office, post office only!!!!!!!!!!!!
