Moe's Sneaker Spot and UPS Brokerage Fees - Lorrie - 05-01-08
My CMYK vins arrived yesterday from Moe's Sneaker Spot (again, props to Guiding Star and Pokey for the hookup) and I got hit with a $35 brokerage fee!
I've ordered a number of pairs from flightclub and private sellers in the US and never had this happen. Totally pissed, as the shoes themselves were only $130.
Anyone have a similar experience? I know you guys have talked about being invoiced and not paying for brokerage, but the driver needed cash in had before he'd give them over.
Thoughts?

That's one of the differences between UPS and FedEx...
In Canada, UPS will not deliver the package until you give them the money for the D&T and Brokerage fees. FedEx sends you a bill later.
Individuals such as yourself hate it... because you feel like your being held hostage.
Retailers love it... because then 6 months from now they don't get hit back with the bill that their customer refused to pay.
My advice... Pay the bill & next time ask them to mark them as a gift with no value. Or have them shipped to me and I'll ship them up to you for my cost.
....Sorry

that's the thing - flightclub also ships with UPS and never any brokerage problems. and, the shoes were marked as a gift! yes, they had an indicated value, but again, never before did i have to pay brokerage fees.
i wonder if i have a legit beef here with someone - I shouldn't have to pay 40% in brokerage and taxes!

You may have a legitimate beef here. It may be a mistake.

Got stung for about thirty pounds customs bill for my yodas I had from moes had to pay to parcelforce before they let me have them bit of a pisser but really wanted the yodas...
Think the thing with moes is they don't mark your sneaks as a gift and put the full price of them on the customs ticket maybe they don't ship to many out of the states as most other places put them down as a gift with a low price.

Wow I'm sorry to hear that Zwer, wish i had some advice for you.
So how are the shoes in person, super vibrant ?
RE: Moe's Sneaker Spot and UPS Brokerage Fees - Lorrie - 06-01-08
yeah, they're colourful! i do like them - especially with my printing background, but they're not for everyone.
RE: Moe's Sneaker Spot and UPS Brokerage Fees - spitey - 06-01-08
it is truly random pickings mate. i have been stung on numerous occasions. but what do you do. if i already paid shipping and paid for the shoes. and it comes to £ 100 , i am not going to leave them at post office because of another £20-30. its hard though. most of the better supes or the cheaper clothing comes from the states. i think the most ive had to pay is £75.00 on 3 pairs of supes. start cheap work out very expensive

i just the other day had to pay £31.50 customs fees on 2 pairs, i expected it to happen but it still burns when the deliverymans standing at the door demanding money for her majesty for something ive already paid for.
will alot of places mark items as gifts for you, or is that mostly for special circumstances?
RE: Moe's Sneaker Spot and UPS Brokerage Fees - Lorrie - 07-01-08
the place i've dealt with the most, flightclub, does mark down gift and changes the price of the item as well.
in canada we always have to pay customs fees before the driver releases the item, as well as Goods and Services tax. it's usually not that much, though, maybe $20 or less in total.
in my case, not only was i charged customs, i was also charged 'brokerage' - basically i paid $50 on a $130 pair of shoes.

I always ask them to mark as a gift!!gotta say most places ive bought from will do it for me rather than lose a sale or at least mark the value down so it gets through customs without tax anyways!!
p.s did'nt pay no tax on them vintage from moe's zwer and mine where marked as a gift!! sorry m8
