tell me more about this lawsuit! I've paid that stupid brokerage fee probably 25 times. Hate it.

US Postal is way better.

Incidentally - you can join the class action suit against Fedex & UPS for the supposed 'brokerage' fees. It's a big load of horses**t.

Not sure if it's too late but the Ontario / Quebec sign-up is here. There is also one for BC.

UPS/FedEx National Class Actions

I've considered picking up rims and rubber via TireRack or some similar shop but I've held out partly due to the shipping cost itelf, largely due to the shipping option. I always insist on USPS. If they don't offer the option, I don't deal with them. I've also paid heaps of brokerage fees over the years and am done with it. Most of the companies will make an exception if you tell them you're in a class action suit again UPS / Fedex

same thing here, if they don't have usps for shipping option i go somewhere else. UPS is such a money grab, bought some hid kit for $75 and the brokerage fee is $39, so you go figure how they charge
