I tell you what, I won't send anything to Canada anymore because of the
brokerage nightmare. I had a Canadian tell me he would take care of the
duties on an item, ended up being $80 or so US dollars, FedEx tried to
collect them from him, he naturally refused, so FedEx dinged my account.
Its a royal pain in the rear end. I don't know what the answer is but as
long as governments have control of it, it is what it is. I realize this
guy was a flake, and I'm not labeling Canadians at all, its the paperwork
hassel.

I don't think much of UPS and now FedEx Ground anymore. Recently FedEx told
me that I can't insure a used item. Only new items in their factory
packaging. These idiots expect ME to be responsible for their mishandling
of goods. Ah well, just another one of those things that gripes me. :-)
