>> Next time you get a package from UPS just don't answer the door.

Well you actually have to do it way before that. My package was held at the border in Windsor/Detroit for a few days before it cleared. Once it's on a truck to your house, it's already too late to avoid brokerage fees.

What's sad is that UPS actually offers a slightly higher rate (only a few bucks more) that bypasses the brokerage fees, etc on shipments to Canada.

The problem is that most smaller online sellers don't know about it or care to research it.

You can decide to self clear at any point before accepting the package. It doesn't matter if they've made you an invoice or not.
