Darn brokerage fees. I've stopped ordering anything from the states because a few years ago I had ordered an exhaust system from a company in the states and it kept getting bounced back and forth across the border for a few weeks and then eventually returned to the company. I then cancelled the order and a few weeks later I got a bill from UPS for duties, brokerage fees, etc for around $150. I called to explain I didn't even get the part and they returned it to the company. Still they wanted me to pay up. They then sent me further letters threatening legal action and to send me to a collection agency unless I paid up. After SEVERAL calls they finally reversed the charges.
