I avoided using TireRack in the past for fear of surprise brokerage charges, especially since they use UPS. Worried about the hassle of paying the taxes and duty and delivery as they got stuck in some warehouse on the border for weeks.

But my set of Bridgestone RE 050A Pole Position tires arrived at my office in Halifax NS less than 3 days after I ordered them.

All-in cost Cdn $892.16 for 235/45-17.

so how bad was the UPS brokerage rape?

$30 US - more like a lapdance than rape

that's just downright consentuous... well done.

I don't believe it, seems way to cheap for UPS. Expect a bill in the mail soon

They recently adjusted and work with UPS to complete all payments before shipping. As a result shipping quotes are much higher but it wraps up all the duty/fees so there is no extra bill when the product hits your door.

Well, there's some pain knowing UPS is making a couple bucks off of you, but it's not like the old UPS rapeage days.

Still doesn't beat FedEx Ground. I think they have yet to charge me a brokerage fee or any taxes/duties on US parts.

Ya, they have great pricing. They even break down the duty, taxes and brokerage fees for you.
