USPS - You will not get charged brokerage fees in most cases . The part will come to your postal box .I have had quite a few small tools and parts shipped from the USA . I have paid an extra 20 bucks to have them ship a part to me by USPS even though the company normally uses UPS . With UPS I have to be home to get the part or drive someplace to pick it up and their pick up hours are inconvienent . But the killer is their brokerage fee . That extra 20 bucks was less than what the brokerage fee would have been . The classic example of multiple add on charges is my door pins . 26 bucks for the pins - ended up costing 85 bucks canadian - a good chunk of that was brokerage fees .
So what Paul says is 100% bang on .
