Ugh, UPS sucks.

My mom sent me a hand made quilt as a gift. I need to figure out how to attach pictures.

But, she sent me this gift, labelled it as a gift and UPS totally screwed me over for fees. First of all I had to pay GST and PST. Gifts over $60.00 you have to pay those minus the $60.00. Totally bogus since it's a gift, but I could live with that, it's the Canadian government, what can you do? Then, UPS charged me 61.55 in brokerage fees.

So, they charged my mom to ship it, then they charged me to process the paperwork. Sixty One dollars! I've done lots of shipping for my job and I've never heard of such high brokerage fees.

I'm not using UPS anymore at work if there is any way possible I can avoid.

They offered me a shipping credit for part of the fee. Yeah, like that helps. I didn't take it, I don't ship things, and I don't have an account with them. I want sixty one dollars back! Highway robbery.
