I have purchased and sold quite a bit from the US. I'm Canadian and every time when it was UPS,I had to pay brokerage fees and tax at my door before they give me my package.
Now when Fedex was used they just gave me the package and then later sent me a bill in the mail for brokerage fees and tax. If I do not pay the bill, it will then have to be paid by the shipper.
But FEDX may be double dipping. One time I bought an amp form a gentleman in the US and months later he sent me an email say FEDX sent him the bill and he paid it.
Well it's a good thing I keep my paid bills for a while as I was able to sent the gentleman a copy of the bill showing it was paid and a few calls to FEDX cleared things up.
Perhaps a few people are not getting ahold of the buyer before they pay to see what the problem is.
Of course there are lowlife people in every country.
USPS is great for both parties on smaller stuff.
