I will never use nor accept UPS shipping again. This customs brokerage
scam they run is well known, and has been documented. Even using my own
brokerage firm has failed. Despite full info on the brokerage existing in
the shipping documentation, UPS insists on telephone voice confirmation, or
they charge for brokerage. A ridiculous amount.
Even after that, after voice confirmation, UPS _twice_ attempted to
collect silly brokerage fees from me. I refused, the agent left the
packages here as I was about to call UPS and bitch, and then the assholes
actually sent the amounts to a collection agency!
I explained to the CA that I had already paid the brokerage via another
agent, and that their client was committing criminal fraud; I then welcomed
a lawsuit.
I have not heard a word since.
It may be that UPS is OK for domestic shipping, but their international
service is a serious scam.
And if UPS is listening: yes, you are criminals and scam artists. Come
and get me if you dare, truth is always a positive defense against libel
and slander.
