What other industry does that? And don't say the airlines, even though they have surcharges they tell you about them before you pay; not when you are getting off the plane. |
no, i am saying the shipper is the person contracting UPS.
if you buy something from him and ask him to include the shipping, thats what he has done by using UPS.
if you want it to include the brokerage and duty and taxes, then you should ask him to pay for that too.
who do you think should pay those charges if its not the consignee? UPS should just hire people to clear customs and not recover it from one of the parties (shipper / cnee) ?
