A shameless redhead who can’t cook, loves to eat, makes babies, has the same figure she had at twenty-five, rebuilds classic automobiles, and is a sure shot.
I don’t see why Kiko or anyone else would have a problem with that.
Not me, they charge a $70 ‘customs fees’ on a $5 item for driving through their own warehouse.
I won’t order anything if it says it’ll be deliverd by UPS and USPS is worse.
Sadly, about the only one I’ve found that doesn’t is Amazon.
I had the same issue with UPS, Oldarmourer only worse…
A few years ago, my wife dropped me off at the airport in Austin as I was flying back to Canada. Her beauty must have distracted me because I left my phone in the drink holder between the seats. So she couriered it back to me via UPS.
Imagine my surprise when UPS levied a $70 “customs fee” on my own phone. The delivery dude said “oops” but gave me the package without charging the fee because it was clearly wrong. A week later, UPS Accounting sent an invoice. Long story short, several phone calls and emails later, they finally acknowledged it was their mistaken and deleted the charge.
Their vans are brown for a reason.

It gets worse, they won’t let you pay online and it has to be a cheque.
Then, while the cheque is in the mail, they send the invoice to a collection agency because you didn’t pay them fast enough…
Never again will I buy anything tha tlists UPS or USPS as delivery.
As much as I dislike using Amazon, walmart drove every other business out of town and there are things I just can’t get here. I had to order several this week alone and a few parts to get the car running again from another place but at least I don’t have to pay $70 USD customs fees on each $10 CDN car part.
If you don’t already, try Rockauto for your car parts, they have almost all the parts for a 15 year old car that the dealer stopped carrying years ago. I was quoted over $600 before tax for one part at a local shop, got it from them for $100 including tax and delivery (not UPS), another was over $150 locally, $10 from them.

I’ve spent a month trying to get the customs processing invoice from UPS for a package at work.
Still nothing (“we can’t email it because it is international so we have to mail it”).
Screw it. If it appears sometime next year I’ll deal with it then.

Too Tall, I think that’s exactly what we’re all looking for.
My lady is a Castilian brunette, but fits into Sam’s mould pretty closely otherwise. She is a priceless treasure.
A UPS delivered lunch? Count me in.
