Damn, G! Was that a season 3 spoiler? I haven't watched it yet.

I might have missed it at some point, but are all IHUK orders going out via UPS now? (Can I still get Parcel Force/ Canada Post to Canada?)
Shipping EMS to Canada costs us twice as much as shipping UPS Express, but it is something we are happy to do, just ask us at check out. I have said it before, but I will say it again, Canadian Customs are more venal than they would be in a country run by Atilla the Hun and his latest wife Lucrezia Borgia
Poetry Giles. Very nice!

Good deal?.. Hesitating, kinda think I need 2TB…

It's either that or this 2TB black version):

Honestly, I prefer Quabaug which Whites use (surprise from the baldy fan boy), but I think aesthetically Cats Paws are really cool.
Mega, Quaboag is the name if my high school and I'm pretty sure the factory, Quaboag Rubber makes them. They also make Vibram soles.

It's not our customs that gets me to have g&p&a ship to me parcel force . It's the brokerage fee that ups charges on top of the duty. Duty doesn't bug me its the brokerage fee that ruins it for me

How much is the brokerage fee? We too get charged a brokerage fee in the UK if the thing is stopped and taxes applied, but it does not often happen. Is the fee in Canada disproportionately high such that UPS is incentivised to charge duty.

2TB black is what you're after. But, yes.

That is some serious incentive to stop the packages…..
Exactly . A couple weeks ago g I ordered a bunch of motorcycle parts from a company they wanted 87 us to ship USPS to Canada 47 to ship ups or they shipped free ups to a us address . So I got a us box and drove the almost 3 hour round trip to avoid the brokerage fee. I paid 92 in duty on the package worth 610. But driving there myself was the cheapest option. Ups is kinda the devil when crossing into Canada. I don't care about duty. That's just part of the game but a brokerage fee is like paying shipping twice in my eyes
-
Yep, Nate is exactly right. I've never been able to determine what the brokerage fee is, since no one else charges it to the recipient (unless it's built into the upfront shipping cost). As far as I'm concerned, it's highway robbery.

What brand of THICK wool blend socks do you fellas recommend? The thicker the better I really like my boots to almost hurt they are so tight so extra sock thickness akways fixes this.
-
Best wool socks on the planet are Smartwool IMO. They make some thick ones; the hiking ones rule. They don't itch or stink and they are kitten soft and made to last. Padded bottoms too, like an insole.

I second that. They are really well designed ergonomically and they seem to hug my feet in just all the right places.

The brokerage fee they used to say was charged for them paying the duty at the boarder. Now that they just charge it for fun I'm not so sure what it is anymore
