greyraven8 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Fedex, Purolator, DHL, UPS, etc, charge 'brokerage fees' on top of duties and taxes. I bought a pair of shoes for $18, and got dinged $20 for brokerage fees alone, and then whatever extra for taxes (minimal amound on $18, but whatevs). So I called UPS to ask what the deal was, and was told "It's for processing - we have staff at airports and borders who have to input the information and process the package", to which I replied "what information do they have to input? It's done at the time of shipping, isn't it? They simply scan the barcode and all the info is there on their scanners/computers, right? So what exactly are they doing to 'process' the item? Look, I'm not paying $20 extra for a pair of shoes that I paid less than $20 for. You can send it back if you want." After that the guy said he'd waive the fees, but that I should be aware next time. Canadapost and USPS can charge taxes if they decide to, depending on price and the type of transaction, but generally speaking, they won't as long as a) the shipper marks the item as a gift and b ) the claimed price isn't overly high. Either way, it's always a lot less than the other guys - unlike the private sector, the federal folks don't charge brokerage fees. If ever you're going to buy anything on ebay and shipping isn't clearly indicated, always message the seller first to confirm the service, and that they will ship as a gift. There are MANY ebay businesses who deal in volume, so they get a business discount (and can't mark the item as a gift), and they'll also already have accounts set up with UPS (or other), and won't use any other shipping method. Buyer beware. As far as I know Purolator doesn't charge brokerage fees. I've shipped many things to the USA by Purolator and haven't heard of anyone getting 'dinged' with brokerage. Almost all the items shipped were valued at well under $100 so I can't say for sure. I know the items shipped by Purolator usually get delivered in the U.S. by UPS after they are over the border and cleared by customs (items are still tracked at Purolator's website through their trip). Not sure of items going via Purolator from the U.S. to Canada because Purolator is almost non-existent in the states. but +1 for UPS being evil and USPS being the way to go on getting items from the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md3k Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Is anyone familiar with locker room sports? I am considering buying an authentic edge Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/RYAN-KESLER-VANCOUVER-CANUCKS-CUP-50-EDGE-JERSEY-2011-/270912268780?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item3f13a129ec It looks legit and I'm ordering a blank one (not pictured). I will ask for pics of the blank one of course too. I would hope he charges a bit less for a blank jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thrashers thirds were the $65 Windy City sale He had those up for a while. I definitely seen those listed before the SVP sale Edit: Go through the history http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=muymighty8&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyer Also, what difference does it make if he flips the stuff or someone who went to the store flips the jerseys?

The only reason it seems like it's legit to me is because the guy has 10 other jerseys listed, all ending at roughly the same time, and only one of them is over $100.

I didn't expect it to go as high as it is, but the customization (while not 100%) isn't too far off - The cup patch is a replica as well, but I'm sure a lot of folks wouldn't recognize or check to confirm...they'll just assume it's good.

slimcutta Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Does this Whalers look fishy to any of you? ...ouch! Aside from the customization being off, I compared it to a bunch of photos and gamers, and noticed that the whale tale seems a bit too far seperated from the W, and I don't see any stitching for the double elbows. The same seller has a gamer here where you can clearly see the white stitching running through the arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I looked into this a while back, no Whalers jersey has rear hem CCM logos like that either if I recall correctly. They had the NHL sheild.

The Next One Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Even that's too much these days I agree. Some TBTC are going for around $100 or slightly more. I bought a Leafs one for $120 a few months back. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a Blackhawks one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
