Trader Posted April 18, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2012 Hi Folks, Partshark say we will not get stuck with the extra charges UPS is so famous for when sending to Canada. Any Ontario folk have any experience with them? Was it as stated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted April 18, 2012 Share #2 Posted April 18, 2012 on the couple of occasions that I attempted to use Partsshark the shipping cost was prohibitive. One time I asked a US member to let me ship to them and then picked it up from them. MUCH less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted April 18, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Before I would order form them I would call UPS and ask if Partshark knows what is going on with brokerage fees, I suspect they dont.... About 3 weeks ago I ordered the cassette cover from them. I think it was 20 bucks, when i got their UPS Shipping on, the total was 40 bucks, plus I was sure I would have a brokerage fee,... I cancelled the order. Ive never had a UPS, Fedex, purolator or any courier/carrier other than USPS or Canada Post NOT charge me a brokerage fee when shipping from the US. I while back I ordered a Drift camera and specified that they send it out USPS they said ok, it showed up as UPS order and UPS wanted another 40 bucks for brokerage fees. I said I didnt have any cash and asked the driver to invoice it back to supplier and he did. I sent a note to the supplier and because I had it on the order they ended up paying that charge, not me. If you order from PArtshark and dont get charged brokerage fees please let us know. Brian Edited April 18, 2012 by friesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted April 18, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2012 According to their website their flat rate includes insurance and brokerage.... but at a $40 base fee, it could get quite expensive to order something from them. Once the cost of the item is over $500 it starts to become a bit more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted April 18, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2012 Hmm, they are local guys to me..... I just got a small package from them ( I usually just pick up from them) that came USPS mailed. I think I'll recommend to Jason and Amier to just ship that way to Canada, might help their sales out up there. Depends on how the paperwork is filled out.....

racerguy36 Posted April 18, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, I was just gonna suggest that, have them send your parts via the mail. Cheapest way, although you might have an issue tracking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
