'ATTENTION CANADIANS'
This is a heads up for canadians regarding shipping.
DO NOT SHIP UPS I repeat DO NOT SHIP UPS

Last friday UPS delivered a reticle I purchased here on astromart for 55 bucks
UPS wanted 40 more for 'brokerage' above shipping and taxes.


Again on tuesday, I received a new LNT module from Meade who paid the shipping.
This item cost me 63 bucks. Again UPS demanded 39.05 'brokerage'fee. When questioned about this exorbitant charge they tried to blame the government. I then inquired to customs about that and was informed that this fee goes directly into UPS pockets.
If you need to ship, ship USPS postal service. They charge a flat fee of $5.00
good luck, bob
