不懂，UPS为什么要charge我这么多钱？ (发表于19年前)

在网上购买东西，加上shipping fee（$12.85) 一共是US$161.85，从美国寄到加拿大。傍晚UPS送过来，还要我付额外的费用一共是72块多加币。我问是什么费用，说是有duty $7左右，tax 大概$20多（14%，居然还不是13%），外加custom brokerage charge。我问这个custom brokerage charge是怎么回事，他说是给UPS, 我说这个简直是ridiculous, 我总共的商品价值才140多美金，我为什么要付这么多钱给UPS，那shipping fee又是付给谁的？我前两天才在网上购买了另外一些东西，也是从美国寄来，用的是FedEx，价值US$120, 也才付了一个GST6%外加一个service charge 6块多，总共不过14块多的额外费用，凭什么我要付UPS这么多？UPS 能替海关收海关费用吗？我告诉UPS的送货员说我拒绝付这笔费用，他说没关系，他们可以把东西退回去。之后打电话给UPS，说就是要付这笔额外的charge。我听说如果东西不是美国或加拿大造的，就要付什么import的费用，可是如果是美国的产品，只要付一个tax就可以了，我不懂，为什么UPS要收这么多费用？

Of course they do have the right to collect the money for Canadian government.

DUTY and GST is for government, but UPS charge customs brokerage for every import, 60-80/per entry.

it is! · 时间: *2006-12-19 23:02*

Those brokerage fees (and taxes) only apply on items that that customs has decided are over their $ limit (seems to range from $30-$70). I've had lots of packages with a declared value ~$10 delivered to me with no charge at all. You should know that customs may open the package and 'determine the value' all on their own, this can be bad for you because they can be very wrong; you do have the option of challenging that value.

UPS Standard: cheap to ship, but extremely expensive once it's in the country - UPS charges a brokerage fee and I think a handling tax too. Whatever you do, do NOT use UPS Standard.

UPS Express or Expedited: pretty good - expensive, but it's quick and brokerage is free. When your package comes into the country, all you have to pay for is GST (and PST, depending on the province).

USPS Ground: Once it gets into the country it gets transferred to Xpresspost. They'll charge you $5 CAD brokerage fee plus GST/PST, where applicable. I think they're your cheapest option, though they say it could take over 6 weeks to get from there to here (ha! max is probably two or three weeks)

USPS Global Express: This one gets transferred over to Purolator, which charges a $8 CAD brokerage fee plus GST/PST.This one is my favourite - it's only a few bucks more over USPS ground, the brokerage fee is minimal, and it's EXTREMELY quick. Plus, IIRC Purolator doesn't charge you their fees at the door. Instead, they bill you a few weeks later.

FedEx: The only experience I've had with FedEx is books; they usually just get delivered, no fees. I haven't used FedEx to ship electronics over the border.

Whatever you do, do NOT use UPS Standard!!! It will end up costing WAAAY more than the savings in buying it from Canada.

这个很正常，上次公司递给我的$20的名片，收了我$10的Brokerage+tax，还有一次买了300多地PDA，收了100多的tax+borkage。要不是这样，美国东西那么便宜，就是加了税都比加拿大便宜，大家都从美国从网上买，加拿大的公司不都倒闭了？

谢谢分享你的经验!

我买东西的那家网上公司只有UPS Standard 一种shipping方式，看样子以后网上买东西还要看看他们的shipping method了。

如果加拿大有，我肯定就在加拿大买了，虽然贵一点，也不用事后还要付乱七八糟的费用。

我以前就有过一次不愉快地经历，也是UPS寄送过来，几个星期以后寄来账单，charge了我70多，当时没有用过其它的寄运方式，以为就是这样。后来一直避免从美国买东西，除非是加拿大买不到的。如果不是刚刚前两天在网上买了一些东西，有了FedEx的比较，我也不会这么生气。

记住下次用USPS

UPS sucksssssssss

就是抢钱那么简单!

切记,如果从美国寄东西来,除了USPS,其它都不要用,宁愿自己去海关报关.

FedEx没受那么多很有可能使他们搞错了，我碰到过UPS，DHL都收。
