Snag!

Stupid UPS and there stupid stupidness!

So, I ordered our kitchen sink and faucet online from a company in the states. We ended up saving about $600, close to half what it would cost if we bought here in Canada. Even with the duty we'll have to pay, it's still over $400 savings. well worth it.

Well, it seems UPS has a bunch of retarded monkeys working for them. They received the items from the shipper, sat on them, and then sent them BACK to the warehouse they came from. Why?? Who the fuck knows. I got various different answers from UPS when I called them, but apparently they were waiting for payment of the duty. When I asked them how I pay for this they told me they'd call me and tell me when they had the value of the items, as they did not know it yet. So then the next day they sent the items back! Idiots.

I spoke with the vendor I purchased the items from and they confirmed that they got the items back and they're re-shipping them out to me. This time, however, I am not having them sent to Canada. I am using a company called "Ship Happens" that is located in Sumas, WA. They will receive the package for me so I can drive across the border, pick it up, and take it back across the border. Then I'll just have to pay the duty at the border. Hopefully this works out.
