Ordering Espo springs from Canada

UPS charges outrageous brokerage fees on everything coming in from the US.

If you live close to a customs office, the only way to avoid getting gouged is to tell the delivery driver that you wish to self clear the package. The parcel is returned to Canada Customs. It's now up to you to go pick it up and pay the taxes. {GST & PST} or {HST} but no UPS brokerage fees can be applied since you're acting as your own broker.

BTW: Whenever possible have anything you buy from the US shipped by US Postal Service. I've had several parcels come to me without any taxes owing & even if there are, Canada Post charges a $5.00 flat fee for brokerage.
