With the shipping they charge, it's almost 50% extra on the cost of the order. In comparison, I shipped US$9500 of solar batteries across the border last month and paid $170 to a reputable broker that actually had to do some work.
What unmitigated scumbags.
What's going on Canada?

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Someone should just set up shop at a border crossing and have their only job be brokering shipments across the border.
There are (or were as of a couple of years ago) still a couple of transshipment firms around whose business revolves around receiving packages from within the US and sending them on to Canada in consolidated batches for a bit more than cost. Thing is, I don't think they'll deal with UPS either. π
