I've had a $10 item come in by UPS, upon which I get charged $2 in taxes and duties and had to pay UPS $30, ON TOP OF the actual cost of shipping (which was around $9). Same thing shipped by USPS would have cost me $25 less.
Google it ... many class action lawsuits and many complaints.

What's the $30 charge for? I can understand having to pay duties/taxes because it all depends on what item you have shipped... but surely the shipping cost should include any handling fees?
EDIT: I did just Google it Cheffo and I found one post on a forum....
"In the UK the brokerage fee is £11, it is worth every penny. If you think what you are getting for that, all paperwork filled in before the plane lands and they are paying the VAT on your behalf.
The logistics of filling in the paper work yourself whilst still using UPS is mad, if they even allow this. You will need to know loads of details down to what was the number of the plane it came in on and where it landed etc."
That post was from 2006 so the fee may be higher now... maybe £15. Then again I suppose this guy is right. I used to work for a freight forwarder and I know how complicated some of this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- can be.

I told myself I wouldn't order one UNLESS I got a Star Wars cab.

My yoke came today (ordered 1/2/10) and included the USB interface that I ordered in April.
Dave emailed me on Saturday to let me know that I should expect it this week. He then sent a follow-up email with the tracking number last night. It was at my door this morning.
The yoke looks good and the interface was plug and play (Windows 7 x64 sees and calibrates it fine), but I have to make a mount before I can really try it out.
