I bought a radio for $215 from someone in canada a few weeks ago and today I
got a bill from the carrier (purolator) company.

I have no idea about Canada to the US, but many a times people have complained
of ordering something from the US, and getting stuck with a brokerage
fee. It has everything to do with the the courrier company.

The complaints in the local "consumer action" column usually eventually
resulted in the charges being dropped, but that was likely a goodwill thing.
I don't think this is ever spelled out, and the only way you know it will
happen is because you've heard of it happening before.

Not that I order much from the US, but I'd always check how they ship.
Regular post office shipping never gets those brokerage fees.

Michael

the main items we

estimated customs $15
brokerage fee $18
surety bond fee $30
disbursement of funds $5
FCC filing $15

total was $85 on a $215 radio


for those that have experience with this matter, or actually KNOW what they
are talking about, I have some questions.

Am I being taken for a ride ?
I didn't sign anything so why should I pay over $50 in fees to these crumbs
?
Is there a way to fight this ?

thanks
