Shipping from Canada by FedEx?19527

Collector Cerebus3000 private msg quote post Address this user
My last shipment to CBCS was to Oakville. I’ve signed up for a FedEx account and I’m ready to prepare the US bound shipment. I don’t think I have ever sent an international courier package, and I am a bit paranoid about it. Any tips? I was thinking for type of goods I would choose Repair and Return with more details in the explanation field.

just be honest on the declarations and be prepared to possibly pay some hefty taxes.

I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
@Cerebus3000 I always send my using Canada Post. My Customs form is noted like below.

CBCS sends your books back using FedEx Ground. This generates a fee from FedEx called a Brokerage Fee. This is a pain to reverse from FedEx. I've been successful reversing this fee most times but certainly there have been times when they won't. To FedEx it's a legit charge. It's the fee handling the package at Customs...I still don't understand how it's legit but they do somehow.

I use both FedEx and Canada Post to send books and just put repair and return - so far no issues!

Like @GAC I can usually get the return BS brokerage fees lifted - in my latest ordeal I think part of the issue is that CBCS assigns a value to essentially the slabs? where by FedEx the says yes!! we can charge brokerage and GST -MFers!!!

I am changing back to my US mail service - I'll have to cross the boarder but I guess that's ok.....

FYI,
Not sure why USPS tracking drops once in Canada but Canada Post tracking makes it the whole way!!
