To do that, when the item arrives:
1. Go to the UPS depot in Richmond Airport and pick up the item description form;
2. Go CBSA, about 10 minutes drive, and do the tax clearance;
3. Then, take the form back to UPS and they will release the item to you, free.

I thought they only charge brokerage fee for ground shipping.  The clearance fee is included by air.  So ship by air is cheaper than ground shipping (unless you clear brokerage yourself).

i work for UPS, avoid the brokage fee, should use express, express saver, expedited services, they wont charge on those services......,

i totally understand u guys feeling, i feel embarres to collect the money from customers

another solution might work, try refuse the package when the package arrive at your door, reason is no c.o.d, or no brokeage fee, when the pkg return to the depot, csr will or might call u, at that time, u can neg. the fee with them

I always use Fed Ex. Customs brokerage is included in the freight.
For UPS, I tried once only because the shop only have UPS or USPS. I pay USD$25 for next day service by UPS. That is a good deal! The shop is in the east coast of USA.
People try to use cheap service will always end up paying more for those ebay or on-line shopping.
beside brokerage, consignee also needs to pay import duty and GST.

Get Nexus, then drive to Point Robert without waiting. Then come back and taxes automatically gets charge to the card. Simple as that. (small items I go through regular)

I bought a jean through a US online store, they mailed the product via USPS, and I didn't need to pay any brokerage fee and duty fee at all. One more thing, ask them to lower your product value on the invoice, It does help to avoid those unreasonable charges.
