Is it the cheapest way to ship a set of irons?

Par4QC Anyone on GolfBuzz would be an idiot to ever look up/research anything on the internet.

Esp. when the only person that does all that input is a member here. Mensa members ask that person for corrections/proofreads.

womp womp.

For most people it's not hard to simply say "I was wrong" in most circumstances and move on.

But it must be hard to do when it would be admitting that someone who think is a sub-human piece of shit is better than you and made you look really foolish.

Par4QC

Never, but never, wrong when I say or post anything. Ever!

That's exactly the type of comment that would be made by the type of pitifully-defeated clown who would also have the mentality to "like"- endorse a comment that is recommending conspiratorial falsification fraud of customs forms and cheating the system. I'm guessing a combination of privilege and a lifetime of managed failing upward is what contributes to it ?

Who is the broker.....not really understanding it and seems like a racket to me. Someone pays shipping and it has to clear customs. Is customs the broker? Or is the fee for whoever then delivers the item after clearance? I always assumed that UPS, FedEx have there own outfit in these places and then pick the package up after customs and deliver it or are these fees associated with Canada Post then taking over?

From the interweb ( substitute any Delivery Company in for UPS )

"Brokerage fees are “service fees” that UPS assesses by acting as the customs broker to clear packages through countries' customs departments. Brokerage fees vary from country to country but are generally based on entry complexity, customs and other agency requirements, and the UPS service selection."

Weirfan Any time in the past that I've shipped to Canada, I've used USPS. Tracking will show it going to Chicago, then into customs in Canada, then a few days later delivery.
This is the 1st time I've used UPS. It went to Detroit, then to Windsor, then delivered to front door......Friday to Monday. Customs was never shown/mentioned.
I did talk with the buyer and he got no notice to pay anything extra.
I used ShipStation thru Paypal for this.

Weirfan sounds like a fee for packages shipped by anyone else other than the government that goes thru customs.

That doesn't surprise me .....as I mentioned earlier it's not consistent and not predictable.
I am going to say I get hit with additional fees 2/10 times.

I typically ask for USPS but even that is getting pricey. The request to have it shipped as a gift is typically accommodated by folks here and was on FGI. Back in the day I used to get Coachsb to bring me loads of stuff when I went to Bryant's tourney. DC300 also received tons of golf , fishing and baseball stuff that I picked up or he brought up when we played. I have a US postal address as well in NFalls but haven't used that in a few years. I'm not the ho I used to be. Lol

pitiful and disgusting.

even more that people "liked" the comment.

Giving complete evidence that one is without any shred of honor, integrity, or pride in civic duty .... all to save a few $ on equipment for a hobby for those with significant disposable income .

Encouraging people you disagree with to kill themselves, intentionally posting false and misleading information, and endorsing/promoting criminal fraud activities.

Truly the signs of a good person of high moral character .

Sorry, don't think I'll be taking your advice.

New Email from Pirate Ship:

I got an email from PirateShip last week telling me that I overpaid for a shipment and got a credit to my account. I love these guys.

I shipped a package Wisco to Cali, did what I normally do to get an idea....went to Pirateship to get the quote $13.xx, 2# 46x4x4. Went to PP/ship station and it was $11.xx! 🤔😉😎

Par4QC

ode Taking 5 boxes to UPS in a few minutes. Shipped through ShipStation because they were all cheaper than PS quotes last night!! 1st time that has happened.

ode

Par4QC hopefully it's not a case of ship station being slow to update their rates!

Par4QC

ode Possibly. I wasn't all that concerned as most were going close by and the rates are sometimes very similar. All were just 2#. The 10# boxes do have a big diff to everywhere.

I'll check again tomorrow when I do 5 more.

Anybody having issues with this site. It's been sketchy as hell for me the past few days. Sold a driver, 3lb @ 48x7x7. No option to add extra insurance, that I can see and I've got 3 different prices in 3 different tries, within minutes of each other and if I go through PayPal, it's even more.

WTF IS GOING ON???

Maybe the guy that owns the site wears Crocs…

LBlack14 no idea......? Is it a driver with adapter where you could remove shaft for shipping and reduce the length of box? That's my only input on this. I only use pirate ship to get an idea of a rate quote, that's it, otherwise I use PP ship station for everything

LBlack14 Used twice last week, no issues.

I used them last week with no issues.......weird.
