I agued with the UPS lady for a 1/2 last week asking why they delivered ,,,then charged me ?She said it was a border fee or some ****If i would have known it was as much as it was i would have refused the package and let APS eat it because i paid them almost close to $100 for shipping alone if im correct Im just wondering if i should just blow UPS off or pay it APS should have said something before hand to on this hidden charge!!just wondering if im alone and if UPS can even do anything if i blow them off
I suspect that you have been charged some form of import duty. If you reside in the US there will be zero import duty for parts imported from Australia as there is a free trade agreement in place between US and Aust Governments. If you reside in Canada then you will be charged import duty by UPS.

Hope that helps,
