Camping World tacked on a few charges:
Freight . . . : $90.33
Add'l Frt . . : $58.50
Handling . . . : $39.00
Hmmm… $187.83 for them to send the merchandise seems kind of high. The RV cover & scissor jacks might not have been a good idea………….
Camping World sent me 3 UPS tracking numbers. Oh no! That means 3 UPS brokerage fees and 3 UPS disbursement fees and taxes on all of that.
So I called UPS and they confirmed that there will be 3 UPS brokerage fees and 3 UPS disbursement fees and taxes on all of that but, if I can get Camping World to send something to UPS indicating that it's one order then there will be 1 UPS brokerage fee and 1 UPS disbursement fee and taxes.
I called Camping World and they sent something to UPS showing that it was one shipment
but Camping World showed the merchandise total as US$665.24. So the UPS brokerage fee and Canadian GST tax and PST tax will be based on that instead of the US$489.41 I actually purchased. That error ended up costing me $19.81.
I got the third & final (I hope) invoice from UPS on Oct 2.
Now for the UPS charges: (in CDN$) Three invoices.
Customs GST......................3.11
CA British Columbia PST....3.63
Brokerage GST.................1.52
Entry Prep Fee.................19.45
Disbursement Fee...............5.85
Customs GST......................45.17 Credit
CA British Columbia PST.....45.17
Brokerage GST...................1.81
Entry Prep Fee..................30.28
Customs GST.......................83.89
Total: $149.54
Here's the breakdown in CDN$ (@ 1.0479 where applicable)
Merchandise........................512.85
GST&PST on merchandise......90.63
UPS & CW Ship & Hand........255.74
I'd have paid GST & PST if I bought in Canada anyway but I won't order from Camping World again because of all the shipping and handling fees. $255.74 is a lot to pay to get $512.85 of merchandise.
I saved
$56.19 in brokerage fees by getting Camping World to explain to UPS that it was one order in three boxes not 3 separate orders. If I hadn’t done that the UPS & CW Ship & Handling would have been over $300!!!
I wish Camping World would offer UPS Expedited as a shipping option instead of only UPS Standard.
