UPS isn't that great

[slushee]

Ya know, I ordered 6 reg seats for my AA Raptor (costing about 14$), and regular shipping was $20?!?!?! ..

I emailed AA letting them know I was a bit dissappointed in having to pay more in shipping then the parts themselves.

I get the notice today and I have to now pay $5 brokarage fee?!?!?!?! (I am in Canada)

My GOD!!! 6 tiny pieces of rubber cost me over $40?!?!?!

*sigh* ... FedEx is sooo much cooler :(

Happens to me all the time, mate.
Shipping rates have become exhorbant in recent years.
It's beginning to hurt internet sales as a result.

I always request USPS when getting parts shipped to Canada. Its much cheaper.

well i find ups to be faster but i always get charged and it pisses me off. i sent my mag in for repairs. MAde sure they marked to outside of the box as warrenty repair i had to 60 bucks duty or what ever it is at my door to get my gun back that i already paid for.

[athomas]

I usually get my stuff within 2 weeks of ordering from anywhere in the US when ordered by USPS. I've been using it for the past 10 years and have had great luck.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

wow, that is really expensive!! Why didn't you just request that they send the parts via FedEx if it is cheaper?

[deathstalker]

Am I the only still trying to figure out why the thread starter thinks UPS is not that great? UPS only charged a brokerage fee and others have stated that alternative shipping methods might cost more when it's time to deliver the item.

AA charged you shipping, not UPS.

[athomas]

Its the brokerage fee that kills us here in Canada. Quite often UPS charges us more for brokerage than for shipping. If an item has a listed value $500.00, it could end up costing us an additional $100.00 or more for brokerage above the shipping costs. USPS is only $5.00 for brokerage and usually gets here just as quickly or in my case almost always arrives in less time than UPS ever did.
