I agree with Fed-Ex - they ship stuff very, very fast! UPS is too slow when you need essentials, I could walk down to California and pick up my stuff quicker than UPS ships it.

Did anybody hear about the new USPS policies? I heard second hand that all inbound parcels for Canada coming via USPS are now routed through Vancouver ONLY - so the mail centers at the border are horribly bogged down and mail is slow. They also haven't hired any new staff as yet to deal with the influx.
I didn't see any press releases firsthand but I know it's been almost 3 weeks for my Premium Aquatics order to show up

Does Premium Aquatics have a web site ? I tried the obvious but got nothing...

Anybody have a web link or a rate schedule for the FEDEX brokerage fees.

UPS brokerage fees often higher than FedEx even though their courier price is a bit lower.

I agree. UPS in Canada is somewhat less desirable.

Last week I ordered a couple things from Custom Aquatics, only to realize that they ship via UPS

. Good thing I live 2 minutes away from Point Roberts. I have my package delivered to this little postal office there and they hold it. I then pick it up when it arives and drive it across the border
(under the spare tire of course

)
