I would be interested to hear about what happens with UPS and reversing the brokerage charge. If it is just a reversal, should result in a $30 increase in upfront shipping costs, which would be insane. If it works like DigiKey's UPS shipping, then I am all for it.

I strongly prefer USPS (when selected with all of the bells and whistles) and their tracking works fine for me (you have to remember to switch to the Canada Post website for tracking once the package crosses the border). Last month I had a package come via UPS and the estimated delivery date was out by a day ... on a next business day delivery.

Having said that, lots of vendors seem to be pulling away from USPS for shipping to Canada and I have to wonder why -- they have exactly the same concerns as sellers that I have as a buyer, except that I have the additional concern of being bent over the sink by UPS.

Nice to hear such good things about the yokes!  :applaud:

 Well, I ordered a 37" LCD tv from California, shipped to Ny.   UPS Lost It!

 If I recall correctly, Tracking said it made it to Buffalo... than it never moved from
that location.
 
 Think about this...  The box for a 37" TV was like 5' long,  1' Deep,  3.5 ' high.
Its Monstrous!  (and pretty heavy)

 Of course, I imagine this kind of thing happens to all the shipping places.
Corruption abound.

 Not to mention... that most shippers like UPS will leave a package on a doorstep
if you are not home.  Its not the drivers fault so much as the policy.  I cant believe
the days that Ive come home to find an expensive packing just sitting against the door.
I would guess that many small packages lost are probably due to doorstep theft.
 
 I believe there is an option however, that Makes UPS get a signature from the customer.
I suspect that it might work similarly for fedex and others too.

I guess that is one advantage to UPS and their habit of raping people for brokerage fees -- they aren't leaving the package until they get their pound of flesh.

In my experience, every shipping method that involves tracking has an option to require a customer signature (and in some cases it is mandatory).

Daviea:
All I'm saying is that I've had better luck with UPS than USPS and I've decided to ship only via UPS. :-)

To those in other countries, I'm trying to lessen the hit to your wallet which is why I charge a flat rate of only $10 shipping (anywhere in the world) and absorb as much of the additional fees as I can.  I'm not sure how it's working out, but I always select the reverse charges to shipper check box when shipping outside of the U.S.  I hope it's making a difference for everyone.

Say, is anyone who received one of my reproduction yokes planning on writing up a full review?  If so, I can't wait to see it.

Thanks guys.

Dave
