Making it harder for Canadians to get fair pricing on wake gear

[loudsubz]

Tried to order a Vest off Evo and noticed that they now will not ship Liquid Force outside the US anymore. Last summer I bought a LF wakeboard from them so it must have been changed recently. I talked to them about it and they said they were getting hounded by Ronix and LF about shipping orders over the boarder.

It sucks for me because anything local is a rip off and they hate to price match because they always bring up the excuse about shipping and duties, which is absurd when I can get a Vest for $100 taxes and duty included and the same thing up here is closer to $200.

I feel your pain of the brokerage fees but there is a way around them. All you end up paying is duty and taxes which is fair.

If UPS charges a flat $10.00 brokerage fee I would be OK with it but they do abuse you with their fees IMHO.

i know there are work arounds, but i was in a rush to get the board.. either way, i would have to be seriously inconvenienced to get to the UPS distribution place to get those papers filled.. they have horrible hours and it's about a 35 minute drive away for me.. in the end, it would of been better to save some money and just wait.. but i am impatient ;(

on a $300 board, i had $91 brokerage/duty.. INSANE! PLUS $34 SHIPPING!

[wolfeman131]

Look at it this way, you got a real nice board for under $500. That's not too bad!

[chawk610]

Yea... but what black hole is that 91.00 dollars falling into. Seems excessive!

My bro on law lives just north of the border but they have a mailbox in scobey montana, I just get stuff shipped to them and she brings it across for me.. Screw UPS. Biggest bunch of crooks out there!!
