I'm not accusing Erich of upping shipping prices, so no need for all the conspiracy theories. I'd just like to know why it is so much. About a month ago, I could swear it was only $45 to ship to Canada, now it's $105.
Is it possible that Erich has some how included brokerage fees and/or duty fees in that shipping price???

All I have to say is the software I use to run my shop only allows UPS shipping... It's a real time quote that is generated directly from UPS's web site. I don't jack the prices up it's all based on an odd box demensions and weight... It's not my fault it costs that much I actually lose money most of the time on shipments to certain locations... and i always try to stoke people out with extra stuff when i have extras things to give away... I would love to use USPS or DHL... but i can't cause i'm locked into the software i currently use.
Also i work a full time job so i can't run to the post office... run to ups... and or run to fed ex...
i need to do it all in one place and it happens to be UPS...
remember your not paying any tax on the boards... that would be another $30.00 |

Guys however much you are paying on shipping is fine, think of poor old me, down here in AUS, who when I eventually buy one, it will cost me about $610US.... Or roughly $800 AUS.... I know its not Erich's fault, and he has tried to help me out as much as possible, but it still sucks  |

Actually in Canada we still have to pay the Canadian taxes on top of the price.In fact I think you end up paying taxes on the UPS extortion charges as well.
If Erich can't send it USPS then your best bet is to get someone down there in the States to grab it for you and mail it out to you.
Make your check payable to Urinal Mint
Reality is something should be done about UPS.There over border shipping charges are criminal  _________________ http://www.bellacoolahelisports.com/index.html

With UPS, in addition to the $105 shipping and the taxes, you'll also be charged a brokerage fee ($36.70) and a disbursment fee (minimum $5.85)
A good resource on the subject:

I think for us ppl in Ontario, we should find somewhere in Buffalo we could get stuff shipped to. I'm 1hr from the border and could easily drive across and pick something up.
Bottom line is that if any company only uses UPS and the product isn't available in local shops, the product will never sell north of the border. _________________ http://www.stokecity.ca |

| btw, i would HIGHLY suggest you making a paypal account, it's free. you can tie it to your checking/banking account and it will withdrawl funds directly and instantly from you account. you can then send the money via paypal to me which is LOADS easier than a check. |

If all of you are not happy with the shipping then go to your local shop and tell them to stock Integrity decks, then you can pay 25$ to 35$ more for the skate plus tax... the longer Integrity stays underground the better for you. But not us...think about it... _________________ at least be honest with your self |

I let a guy who works for a local shop ride my integrity. after his set his exact words were "This thing is so much better than any hyperlite skate i've ever rode." haha. i'm trying to get them to buy a couple of display boards so that people could order them when people wanted to buy. _________________ integrity-wake.com | chriscut.com |

| UPS also has built in tracking and insurance, you have to pay exta for those with USPS and then the price is about the same. |
