As I mentioned previously, UPS nailed me with an excessively large brokerage fee on a jacket that I recently purchased from a US company. So, I was happy to hear that I’m not the only one, and that a Vancouver law firm has launched a class action lawsuit against UPS Canada.

From what I’ve learned since, UPS only charges these brokerage fees on ground shipments. Somehow, items shipped by air are mysteriously exempt. I hope these guys win. Charging $79 to import a $130 jacket is insane.
