Default Order from TwoPartSolutions

Anybody recently place an order with TwoPartSolutions using UPS. Curious if you had to pay only the $10.00 reduced brokerage fees and duty/taxes, or did UPS hit you with COD and disbursement charges as well.

They have negotiated a better rate with UPS.

Just have him send it USPS and brokerage will be $5... if they charge you at all.

The difference between UPS and USPS at a 35lb rate is around $25.00. I double checked with twopart and they confirm the only fee charges is $10.00 brokerage plus GST/Duty

UPS brokerage doesnt go by weight, it goes by Dollar value of goods. More pricey the goods, more brokerage. Had a front end shipped from Tn for my Trans Am, $10 stated value, 80" x7" x 28" box 38 Lbs no UPS brokerage. next week, a servo motor for my RC car, 2" x2" box, 1/16th Lb $250 value, $70 UPS brokerage. Nice logic UPS has
