Actually BRS pays the brokerage fee up front for you but they charge a fee of 15% on every purchase.

However UPS will certainly try to bend you over whenever they can. I would never order from the US if the retail scene in Canada had the same products available and weren't charging as much of a premium for the products (beyond exchange rates and a bit extra for shipping costs).

I know for some this might be a little far, but the orders can be picked up in US.

I go there every two weeks shopping and pick up BRS orders at my mailbox... best thing ever.

I priced a bunch of stuff through BRS and by the time I paid all the fees it was gonna cost more than here... Backwards eh... and so I just cancelled my order... What a waist of time it all was...
