There'd be no need if vendors shipped the way you asked and were promised was happening. I was quoted and assured PST was shipping USPS.. and then they apparently "did me a favour" and shipped it Brown truck. Mancini the same BS but Fedex.
Layson’s did the same to me. I purchased a set of Rallye wheel center caps at Moparfest and fully paid for them. They only had 1 left in the truck, so Dave said no problem, we’ll ship you the other 3 center caps through USPS when they arrived back home.
3 weeks later I was on afternoon shift and my wife gets a knock on the door and Mr. UPS wants $150 in brokerage, customs fees and sales tax. My wife paid it and calls me at work freaking out about the charges.
It turned out that someone at Layson’s filled out the invoice as 3 sets of 4 center cap kits instead of 3 individual center caps.
You would not believe the hassle it was to get the brokerage, customs charges and sales tax refunded from UPS and Revenue Canada because of Layson’s error.
