Supreme Court judge has determined  that the case does not fit the criteria for a class-action lawsuit. The class action lawsuit accuses UPS of misleading and deceptive practices by failing to get the consumer’s consent by not telling the consumer about the fee. UPS should fully notify the consumer to arrange their own customs clearance allowing them to use another broker that would be cheaper.

 Something tells me if the judge got a new set of golf clubs from the United States shipped with UPS he might of changed his mind. Don’t forget that UPS even tryed to SUE canada post in 2001. It tryed suing the Canadian government for $230 million, claiming Canada Post unfairly subsidizes its courier service. I guess they were not making enough money from charging such high brokerage fees.
