But to me I don't care if UPS or the gov't takes it, it's bullshit either way.
the worst part is it is actully a Lawer or Brokerage Lawer on the US side hands the package to a Brokerage Lawer on the CAD side. and thats it,,, thats what your being charged for, I imagine they maybe scan it to log it into a computer.. Then they come up with a number based on the price. or the boxes value..

dang im in the wrong business...
