Stickers sent UPS

I guess I'm the idiot for not seeing the choice to have my mazdaspeed stickers sent from Corksport to me in Canada by a cheaper route. Instead, I just submitted my order on-line (which cost about $20) and today get a note from UPS (I wasn't home when they came by) that I owe $21.39 for C.O.D. charges. WTF! I would think the folks at Corksport would have chosen the cheaper route (ie. do they want my repeat business) but now I'm stuck paying a delivery charge for something that could have fit in an envelope and is more expensive than the actual product. I admit, I haven't ordered much from the U.S. and it's "buyer beware" but this sucks. On the other hand, I had called them to order my clear corners and because I talked to a human being, they were sent the cheapest route possible. Doesn't matter that I am a repeat customer, probably in the computer, they could have checked and sent it out cheaper, I'm sure.

Yup most people get burned by this at least once. UPS is the worst for cross boarder shipping , you will probably find most of that cost will be related to brokerage frees. UPSP is better if available

You need to educate Corksport on this issue. Most US mail order places already know the drill and will automatically send US Postal to Canadian customers.

I would guess most of Corksprts' business is in the USA and they would get a
deal using UPS. (cheaper for them...not you)
