I won't speak for Joe, but as a fellow Canuck, if his experience with UPS is anything like mine, any retailer using UPS is automatically stricken off.

It's pure economics; when one is obliged to pay the UPS 'Brokerage' fees, a reasonably priced item from across the border, it generally ends up being absurdly expensive.

The first time I got burned? A $30USD darkroom timer which cost an additional $20USD in 'brokerage' fees.

UPS brokerage fees for shipments to Canada (and presumably other countries) is a crock. They don't do SQUAT for that fee, it is pure and simple a cash grab.

Anyone who wants to ship stuff to me and have me bring it to the GTA, just let me know. I can't promise a schedule, of course, but if it's not time-sensitive, I'm game. I can reship to other areas in Canada, of course, but that's your dime, so it would have to make sense in terms of additional costs.

And I'm not trying to horn in on Rob's honest efforts to make a buck. Recently out of date b&w, especially bulk rolls, makes sense if you can get a good deal; then the Trius Delivery service makes sense.

Hey everyone,

Here is my list that I made in Dec '06 on B&W and B&W Bulk to compare to '07 Q2 prices.
