As we all know- UPS brings up visions of crazy brokerage fees. Has anybody ordered from them lately? Were there any brokerage fees?

The other question, is anybody else in the same position as me- not wanting to place a small order? Maybe we could put together a bigger order and pay the USPS shipping costs.
They use UPS Worldwide Express so there's no brokerage fees, but they do charge a fee to collect the GST which was about $10 plus the tax. Next time I'll get them to ship USPS, but I agree that their shipping costs seem to have gone up recently. I still think Monoprice is worth it in the long run.
