Gawd I hate UPS
I suppose I just found out why UPS charges so much for their parcels. Check out where they have sent my parcel. Just like the company their listing is backazzwards. So you have to read from the bottom up.

Are they off their rocker? They first send it from the US to Winnipeg. Then back to the US. Then back to Winnipeg. Then on to Calgary. No damn wonder they charge the stupid brokerage fees.
If I could have bought the items in Canada I would have. Don't think I didn't try first. I also tried to get the company to ship USPS. Yes I have already had my fair share of UPS and their brokerage fees in the past. This was a last resort to get these parts I was handcuffed by the company to go UPS. Otherwise I would not have bothered.
I just hope I still get the package tomorrow. Missed them by 5 minutes today.
Oh ya if you ever have the privilage to ship something VIA UPS then be sure to have exact change. They do not carry change.
