My experience shipping from the USA to Canada has been outrageous. I assume the same situation exists shipping from Europe to North America. Perhaps America-based posters could share their experiences?
The brokerage / customs & clearance fee that UPS charges is
in addition to import taxes. When I ship to Canada using normal American mail (USPS--United States Postal Service), I am never charged brokerage. It is a UPS scam.
ups brokerage fees scam
UPS/FedEx Brokerage Fee – avoid scam
Please bear in mind that in all probability if I cannot find an alternative to shipping to Canada with UPS, I will not buy from you, and
I do want to buy from you. I do not trust UPS. They are a dreadful courier. They overcharge and do not deliver when scheduled after I have taken a day off work to be there (without apology). I suggest you google UPS SUCKS.
One alternative may be to offer a non-courier postage option with shipping insurance.
