BRS Shipping Fees Excessive

[cale262]

I've ordered allot of things from the US (not BRS) but I refuse to use UPS, I have had nothing but bad experiences using them, USPS has always been much better, If the US company I'm ordering from wont use USPS, DHL or even Fedex, I just find somewhere else to order from.

I am not sure why BRS does not want to use USPS. They don't say why either...correct me if I am wrong

But BRS is also charging PST, which I do not pay being In alberta. A lot of the products are duty free as well, quick search of the tariff will show that.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to order a 2 part kit along with a couple pumps. All of which is duty free, just trying to understand where the extra ten percent is going.

maybe like the scam Canada Post has going. I sent a package to BC (fr Alberta) and had to pay their tax.

I don't know about fish stuff, but I have ordered quite a bit of computer stuff from the US. I get it shipped USPS (United States Postal Service). It didn't matter what it was, but it was like only $5 total for customs/brokerage on every item I did, plus the shipping cost.

Fed Ex, Puralator, DHL just plain rip you off!

I don't agree withsome of your reasons for not using USPS. In many times UPS is even slower. I have recieve parcels in many shapes and weight and every time USPS has delivered and is cheaper than UPS.I think you should give a the consumer a choice.
