Why COD? ...just curious.

COD as in the "surprise" charges by companies like UPS who screw Canadians when US -> Canadian shipments. (sometimes doubling the cost of the items). If a US company sends to Canada via USPS, Canadians pay $5.00 plus 7% GST.. which is much more reasonable.

Crash Gord> Why COD? ...just curious.

This is true. For some reason though, UPS doesn't hit Canadians with the same fees for 2nd day air service as they do for ground service. I've shipped both ways and it's usually cheaper for the customer to have it sent by air. Also, although UPS refers to the service as "2nd day air," Canadian shipments rarely arrive in two days. The same is true for shipments from the mainland to Hawaii and Alaska, except Alaskan shipments can sometimes take up to a week.

Must be the dog sleds they're using.

Do you mean Collect On Delivery, as in the US? If so they charge us that here too, but I think it's 16 bucks...but it's only if UPS is collecting the money for the shipper, which can be avoided by paying online or prepaying the merchant.

Crash,

There's another fee that UPS rips... er charges Canadian customers over and above shipping and COD charges. I suspect that's what the gentleman was referring to.

Yeah... It ain't called "brokerage" fer nuthin', ya know?

Also, the postal service doesn't smash as much merchandise as UPS does, although lately, the postal service is a close second. My experience is that Fed Ex is the best for merchandise arriving in one piece.
