I talked with UPS today (because I also have a 73 dollar brokerage fee
) and was told that if the item was shipped with a certificate verifying it was made in America than it would have "not been charged the fee" and I would have only been charged the tax on the good.
needless to say, UPS still sucks, always has, but this is something that needs to get rectified because paying 75 dollars AFTER shipping for a 250 dollar part is unreasonable.
Also because the invoice states the items original non discounted price (280 something vs 252), we are getting charged more on our taxes. Awesome

Summary of the story? If you are shipping from the USA to Canada, please do Canadians a favor and ship with USPS. All of those fees listed above? He would have been charged a flat $5 fee, and tax.
TLDR; Use USPS to ship to Canada.
