I bought some hockey sticks recently. Free shipping over $300. UPS made me pay $50 on delivery for “Duties or taxes are due on this package.” The seller did not list the potential expenses outside of what was paid, and said they have no control over this.
Has anyone else run into this (with anything)?
I have never paid duties as a direct fee for anything not purchased in an airport. Shipping was Canada to U.S.
Unless there’s a prepaid duty program like eBay, Amazon, and Rockauto has, nope, it’s a suprise. I got an email from Fedex saying I owe $50 before my package can be delivered. Not much choice in the matter as they have your goods.
