Reply to "Shipping Cost From Vendors"

You guys are lucky that you don't have to deal with an International border. A UPS shipment that would be $12 within the states jumps to almost $100 when it needs to get 1 hour north of the border. All the major carriers (except the post office) charge a customs clearance fee that is usually aound $50 (on a $200—$500 value) and then we get to pay an additional 15% tax on top of everything. The fees are included on air/express deliveries which often makes faster delivery cheaper for us. Just try to get a vendor to understand that he’s NOT saving you money by shipping UPS ground instead of FedEx overnight.
