WARNING! When ordering from Canada DO NOT USE UPS GROUND SHIPPING!!!!

Both UPS and FedEx ground shipping charge an extra "broker fee" which is often around $50 or more. This is on top of taxes and the shipping charge!

My stubborn wife order a light for my Cybook, value around $40 and was charged around $40 broker fee!?!?!?! I think it was UPS Ground. I told her not to order anything via UPS Ground, but .... sigh

I can confirm that Bookeen used FedEx Air which DID NOT charge any extra fees (besides shipping fee and standard Canadian GST/PST).

So NAEB should make sure to offer alternatives to UPS Ground, such as USPS ground say.
