If you are a small business in canada no doubt you paid fair share of brokerage fee’s to courier’s like UPS, FEDEX, DHL in the past year. UPS being one of the all out worst. Doing Cross Border deals with american wholesaler’s is mostly just a way of life for most canadian small businesses, but it can hurt the pocketbook very fast depending on who you use. Drop shipping is another big problem. When you drop ship from a american wholesaler to your customer in canada they end up with a nice little UPS brokerage bill.

Here is a list of the fee’s charged by UPS to you or your customers. Why do they charge 7 dollars on a 20 dollar item and then 63.75 on a item over $1000? If it was just one item at that value it would be the same amount of paperwork right? Something is not right… Well lots of people would agree with the unfair fee’s of UPS that currently have a on going class action lawsuit.
