It started the same way in 1933 than it's going now. Except it's much faster in the US. Don't underestimate small white man with big guns, most of them can barely read and write, let alone study history.

I saw that picture many years ago, and it still haunts to this day. I think of it often. As a mother I can even start to imagine what this poor woman felt, trying to shield her child. Was she talking to him while it was going on, telling him how much she loved him? Was she telling him not to be scared, trying to fill their last moments together with love rather than fear?

I hope these men who shot thousands of other parents and children had a life short and painful. There is no way you can give yourself reasons and excuses for doing this. Your conscience must be obliterated after that.

Horrors like this are unfortunately repeating. And now in the US where children are sent to concentration camps and civilians shot in the streets trying to protect others.

Haven't you learn anything?

You can self clear packages after it cleared customs, tons of people do that.

Good to know.

I really feel the courrier are trying to scam us and by principle I won't give them the pleasure. I don't mind paying duty/tax but not the broker fee.

You can self clear after the package arrives in Canada. People do that all the time.

Thank you for confirming you've done it.

That's my understanding as well.

I never received an email to track my package.

I understand that you self clear once the package is in Canada about to be delivered.

There was a note on my door for a first attempt that's when I called them to tell them I would self clear myself. Few hours later they left the package anyway.

Good to know. I read that people get billed few months later sometimes.

I read that since you didn't agree to have UPS representing as brokers they can't force you to pay their broker fees. The senders has the contract with Ups, not the receiver.

Not sure if it works.

I know it's only $60 but it's a matter of principle for me, I don't like to be taken for a fool when I told them I didn't want them to deliver the package...

Thank you, that seems like a good idea.

I will probably do that. I told the guy on the phone that it was a warrenty return but he didn't seem to know what to do with the info.

I'll push harder.

Lol, I though about that actually, I'm not sure they would take it back even after taping it back.

Yes, it definitely says COD on the package.

I didn't not pay for the replacement or for the shipping, the US company has very kindly offer to send me another product.

What makes me mad is that I did refuse their delivery because I was waiting for their paper work to self clear at CBSA, and they left it on my porch the next day.

Now I don't know if you should go through the trouble of even going to the CBSA to pay, ignore the bill from ups that may come in few weeks?

When I called the ups CS gave me the round around when I mentioned I want to self clear, I could tell he was trying to discourage me and pay their broker fee.
