Subject:Re: UPS BROKERAGE FEES TO CANADA - RATE CHART
From:Robert Keezer

I don't use UPS anymore for domestic shipping.
They cost too much .

I have a DHL account now. Cheaper, faster,
same-day pick up most locations.

I shipped a motrorcycle gas tank for ten dollars
less with DHL.

I don't know the pricing to Canada.
