I purchased goods from Canada twice. There was no issue with the seller but always got hit by UPS on the processing fee. The first time it was a $400 cable and UPS sent me a bill of $22 one month later. I thought it was custom duty so I paid it. The 2nd time was July/2007 and the bill stated no import duty but there was a $24 paper preparation fee and a $24 FDA fee for a total of about $48. Do you all get that kind of bill or was it UPS gouging on consumers?
Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?
I have had 3 nightmare transactions from Canada.
This ,I hope is not a reflection on Canadian Agon members,however, issues exist like never before.
I had a CD PLAYER held up at customs for 1 month by the FDA claiming it contained consumable goods.
I know the US does not want our senior citizens getting discounts on prescription drugs they need,therefore,everything must be getting delayed.
I can ship/get shipments from/to China,Russia and the Middle East easier and faster than Canada.
I guess it shows where our security priority is.
It's okay to mess with us just don't mess with those Pharmaceutical companies.
There is one common thing that does seem to occur with shipments fronm Canada.
And that is, they definately take their time shipping things to us.
I think most US Agon members try to ship the item as soon as they are paid or maybe a day or 2 later.
Canadian members like to take a week or so and then ship the item in a different manner than arranged.
These have been my experiences anyway.
I need to hear other stories,as I soon may not deal with Canada if this is the new norm
