When they bring anything across the border into Canada they charge exorbitant "brokerage fees"... <br /><br />Black Tree has never shipped stuff via UPS before - it's always been USPS or Royal Mail (depending on whether it's come from the US or UK). So I was just a bit surprised. Also I have never had anything shipped via UPS from England before - which is where this order originated. I'm not sure why they did it...? Perhaps the weight of it would have been too expensive to mail via Royal Mail...? Perhaps they just wanted to get it to me fast. I placed the order the last week of December and I have a feeling they were rather overwhelmed with orders and decided to try and get these later orders as they got them cast to the customers quickly before they got too irate... not that I get irate about things taking a while - especially when there was such a big sale...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-69984025469443799812016-02-06T07:58:00.998-08:002016-02-06T07:58:00.998-08:00Quite a weighty delivery, Tim.
