You think Can Post is bad? Check out my latest UPS fiasco
OK, You all may or may not know I have a buisness. Like my user name wouldnt give it away. Now I need to get supplies for my buisness. Pretty much all the good suppliers are in the US. Powder makers that make the really nice powders, etc. Well, I get this UPS Import Brokerage acct. Figure that will help me with importing the powders. I make an order, to a company that I have dealt with before(cant remember how much was charged shipping on prev order) But, it was a 10Lb box of powder. No special shipping, powder is not hazardous, non toxic. $80 purchase price for said box of powder. UPS bill comes in today $106. I am furious. I called their 1888 number and chewed a strip of the lady.
1, the powder is made in the USA, came in with NAFTA papers and yet they still charged me Duty.
Shipping alone was over $65 ???
Just freaking UNBELIVEABLE.
Heck, I have has snowmobile engiens shipped to me, and sent out, Both ways around $130. 80-100 Lbs each motor to Michigan no less, not Portland, like where this powder comes from
My real problem now is that most companies only ship UPS now and it is getting harder and harder to be competitive when my costs are astronomical.
Needed to vent
