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!!!!!!!!!!!!
