      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.

      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

        Smartwool socks are always on sale at the local outdoor stores in my area. I typically pay $15-17, when they are priced at $25-30. It's usually at the mom and pop stores, not big ones like REI.

          to echo what Zwer and Nate are saying it completely true! I received a package that was mistakenly sent to my business address instead of my US address that they usually used. The brokerage fees were $67 and the item was worth $30. I called to enquire where the huge fee came from and was told by UPS that it is arbitrary, depending on who handles the package. That was all they could tell me! Brutal!  Other times it's been $20 on $500, no rhyme or reason!

            SmartWool at Campmor in Ramsey, NJ are $12 bucks. Every time I walk in the store I walk out with SmartWool socks. Jake wears them as well. IMO best socks there is for hiking.

              Smartwool socks, like most of the gear we wear, has a big cost upfront but will last a long time.

                Does anybody know what this shirt is? I looked through the Extinct section of the shop and didn't see it. It's entirely possible that I just glazed right over it, but it has certainly piqued my interest.

                  But that looks like a different shirt… Probably forgetting about something here...

                        Good eye Eli! I think you're right about it being the 17.

                            Gives me an idea… Quilted version of the 65...  Red, natty, khaki and grey/blue 😎

                              I've said it once before, but a natty/ecru Western with persimmon stitching would be the tits.

                              Think it, be it.

                                I'd rather see that in a workshirt, but that's just because I don't ever wear westerns.  Maybe dye the buttons persimmon, or make them enameled in that color for a workshirt.

                                  Well then… this is getting awesome!

                                  I'd really like to see a quilted flannel. Workshirt or Western. With the persimmon thread AND the buttons (or snaps). Too much?

                                          Whats the dealio with shipping beer to the States from the UK and not getting anyone in hot water? No major bootlegging, just a couple of beers to a buddy.

                                          Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

                                            I've shipped beer within the states before to enter a homebrew competition, and labeled it "yeast samples" which is totally legal.  Otherwise, I think the only way around it would be to just label it "Candy and Snacks" and throw caution to the wind.

                                            Why do you ask?  😉
