And the seller/loser is yellow68runner

The reason why US sellers prefer to use UPS is because UPS will come to their door and pick it up. The seller doesn't have to do anything except package it up.What US sellers do not realize, is that when shipping to Canada C.O.D, we get dinged higher shipping rates, taxes, as well as a brokerage fee, by UPS. I do not begrudge the taxes, fair is fair, but I'm tired of being ripped off with overinflated shipping charges and a totally bogus charge (starting at $35.00) for brokerage fees.
THAT is why when when shipping to Canada we prefer USPS. The rates are fair, there is NO brokerage fee, and we just pay the taxes.
I recently bought something from a member here and specifically (and he agreed to it) told him that I wanted it shipped via USPS. He said "his girl screwed up, sorry". I ended up paying $92.00 for C.O.D shipping, brokerage fees and taxes on a $125.00 part. PLUS, I had originally paid $33.00 for shipping to the buyer. Yeeeehaw......I was impressed Mike - if you'll recollect, I bought the part from you - not "your girl". You are not someone I will purchase from again in the future. :angry7:
