Great, feel like you need to pick up the troll torch since Lazer's leaving, retard?

+1 :)

Hey retard, elle s'est même pas adressé à toi.

Touché, Trey :)

Actually starting to have some doubt that there is a higher power at work here :)

... That's cuz he's not writing anything.

Meh, ... The player gets somewhat good reviews, but I'll stick with my PnP, drag n' drop Creative :)

Hey look, it's almost 4:20!

... Mmmkay, so he's not "saying" anything right now, but that's still spamming, right?

Ouais, définitif. Et ça explique la piètre qualité du logo à la fin.

Le reste est superbe, c'est bien tourné et tout. Juste que, ... urgh.

That. Can't. Be. Right.
Urgh.

Emphasis added.

Again, I GET YOU, I FIND THESE FEES AS UNFAIR AS YOU DO, WHICHEVER THE EFFING COMPANY!

Geez, either learn how to read, or I fail at getting my POINT across :)

Right, my bad, misread the postal code. Theirs looks pretty similar to ours :)

So yeah, roadtrip is even more out of the question T_T

London, Ont?

Bleeeh. Looks fun though.

Please don't twist my words, Vinnie. I posted a link I googled, simply because I knew there was a way to not pay over what is required by law, or stipulated by current customs and tariffs.

And I don't know where you saw someone (other than you) calling UPS "leader in ripping people off".

Get the sand out of your crotch, little girl. :)

Well, I do agree with everything you guys said. And yes, moderation is one of my motto.

That being said, I kinda liked the fact that we, as a group, tend to moderate threads without the need for someone having more "power" than everyone else. For example, I wouldn't post as much if the.neoform was made a moderator...

But yeah, seems "failtonite" Laxxor is impervious to our little group-moderation thing... It's obvious he acts this way out of some perverted need for human contact, but... I say ban, yes. This is an extreme case.

Meh, to be fair, aside from somewhat expensive brokerage fees (then again, not much more than other companies), I've never had any problems with them.

DHL's another thing, though. For me, at least.

Hey neo, quit acting like an ass, ass.

And you needed to start a new thread because...?

Awww, does that mean someone will finally put a face on the mysterious Myha? :)

You thought wrong :p
But hey, the more you know!

Shipping fees depend on where it's coming from, and where it's going. Y'know, the actual distance involved, and fees for having the actual item travel that distance.

Customs/duties are dependent on the item's "category", as in whether a "trade deal" was negotiated between the two (or more) countries.

Brokerage fees are billed by shipping companies, and will usually include customs/duties, as well as what we could call "processing" fees.

Yep. Canada Posts rock. Although it being a crown corporation, I guess they have more scruples charging you more than the actual customs/duties negotiated by the govt :)

Rakoon, ouais, ça marche, mais habituellement seulement pour les envois de particulier à particulier. Rare qu'une compagnie va déclarer ton envoi "cadeau", c'est comme si elle te l'avait pas vendu ;)

Yeah but clown, was it the same item/item category?

IMHO, UPS isn't less worse than DHL fee-wise. They all make a pretty good margin on the applicable duties and taxes.

... And I need to get friends in every big delivery company :)

Heh, some of them DO charge WAYYY more than the applicable customs/duties :)

Meh, they all do it. I, for one, hate DHL for the same exact reasons.

Two things though, Vinny:

1. Why order from [ amazon.COM ] Product not available from [ amazon.CA ]
2. Some of those brokerage fees are indeed outrageous. You can apparently avoid 'em, though it's a somewhat complex problem (what with having to go around town to a few places). You'll still need to pay customs and duties if you want your package, but here's an excerpt from Radio-Canada's La facture website (in French, sorry):


***************************************************************
Dédouaner soi-même pour éviter les frais

Louis non plus n’a pas compris quand il a reçu une facture semblable avec son colis. Dans son cas, c’était avec la compagnie UPS.

« C’était une pièce pour une motocyclette d’importation qui devait nécessairement provenir des États-Unis, qui n’était pas disponible ici, raconte-t-il. J’ai reçu un colis qui valait 27 $ et on exigeait des frais de courtage en douane de 55 $. »

Louis a alors appelé la compagnie de messagerie pour avoir des explications.

« [Ils m’ont dit que] c’était pour payer le courtage en douane. Donc, pour payer le temps de la personne qui a consulté le catalogue pour voir quelles étaient les taxes s’appliquant sur cet article-là. »

Louis a refusé le colis, qui a été retourné à l’entrepôt d’UPS. La compagnie lui a alors dit que s’il ne voulait pas payer les frais de courtage en douane, il pouvait dédouaner lui-même son colis. Louis s’est donc rendu à un bureau de l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC) à Montréal. Des douaniers y imposent les tarifs s’appliquant sur les marchandises que les Canadiens importent, une formalité obligatoire.

L’ASFC a organisé pour La facture une simulation du processus auquel Louis s’est soumis. Voici comment cela se passe:

Le douanier consulte les factures, la description des biens et il remplit un formulaire sur son terminal;
Le logiciel affiche ensuite les sommes à percevoir;
Le consommateur paie ce qu’il doit;
Une mainlevée lui est remise;
Il se présente à la compagnie de messagerie avec le document pour obtenir son colis.

Essentially, you'll need to refuse the shipment, which will go back to the company's warehouse (probably in Ville St-Laurent or somewhere hard to reach). Then, after paying duties at one of the Border Services offices, you can call the company, have them get your package ready at its warehouse "desk" and pick it up in person.

Complex, I know, that's why I have yet to do it.

+ 9000. And that goes for Québécoises too :)

Crap. :)

Ass.

Bleh, pour sa défaite, y'a pas beaucoup de temps entre les 2 posts.

Or so it seems, I'm actually gonna go crash down.

'night, ptit emmerdeur.

Bah non, ça serait bien de pouvoir dire goodbye.

Ahhh, nope.
Sigh.

Yeah, methinks there's a shitload of truth behind that.
It saddens me, don't doubt.

Again... Wanna change that?

Oh and hey, is 12 am really your curfew?

That. Could. Explain. Something.

...
Oh. wow.
Priceless. :)

But deep deep down in that gay hole of yours, it does, huh?

Wanna change that?

Naah, can anyone recommend some good emo bands to this guy?
Y'know, the /wrist type?

Well how else would he lose his virginity?

A cousin, perhaps?

Une dose de ritalin ça aide, huh?

Pauv' merde.
