I'm not out to get the seller. He's a pretty nice guy and thi sis just an internet transaction but he just accidentally put it in a pile of stuff for UPS to pickup. I'm not going to do anything malicious like reversing the charges.
If the fees end up to be too high, maybe I'll try to refuse the package and have it sent back. I'm wondering if it will incur any costs on either of us, I want to keep costs as low both both parties.
I came across this epinions page ranking UPS near rock bottom. It's funny.

I hear that if I refuse the package, they'll simply take it and abandon it in their facility or throw it out unless either me or the seller pays for return shipping. Man, this is B.S., the postal system will return your package for you free of charge.
And they automatically do it, there's no way for me to call them right when the package is at customs and then do it myself. From what I've learned, you have to call in advance of shipping and tell them you'll broker it yourself. Then you go yourself to a brokerage and do the work yourself. However, it was shipped out early accidentally and I didn't have to chance to even realize or contemplate all of this before it had already left the US and now it's sitting in Winnipeg.
