Ripped off from ups and apex

[Phil]

Ya I've sent a email to both Neptune and ups so see what they say and I know it not Neptune but it could be if they didn't put of the shipping papers that it was a warrintee return. I was in the process of buying another apex lite too, I'm going to wait to see the out come of this first.

Here's the email I just got from Neptune

Phil,

I'm not sure why they would have charged you duty in this instance the customs value was entered as $1.00, therefore there should not have been any duty fees.*

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you,

Right. It's not duty, it's the UPS brokerage fee.

UPS is the devil.

might not be much in the big US/Canada trade deals but so many companies in the States have lost my business if they reply they'll ship UPS only

what I used to do is refuse the shipment then call the company and tell them I refused it and why and ask it be reshipped by usps. the last time I did this I ordered 14 bucks worth of Led's and UPS wanted 35 bucks brokerage.

It baffles me how an outfit like UPS still exists. Surely after dealing with the brokerage fees charged ubiquitously folks learn after the first experience. Apparently I'm mistaken though, people continue to get ripped off. Free trade/NAFTA is clearly some kind of joke, since the average schmoe still ends up getting taxed/dutied to the hilt when attempting to bring something in from out of country.

Its never duty with UPS or FEDEX...its always the brokerage free.

In this case you should not pay a cent. They should not have even put 1.00 in the value box. I know if I ship to the states there is a place I can check for warranty/repair and you can write that in the description. If this was done you wouldnt be paying.

I would contact UPS and let them know the situation and demand them to reverse the charge.
