WTF Brokerage C.O.D??

Okay so i just traded my EG2s to a dude in the US for his I/Os.  he had a ton of feedback saying he was 100% legit and our transaction went super smooth.  I shipped Canada post (equivalent to USPS).  I paid 7$ to ship and that was that.  I live in Ontario, he lives in Washington state.  we didnt really say how we were shipping, our deal was we would each pay for our own respective shipping fees and trade goggles.

I also shipped three days before him and both of us got each others package in a matter of 1 week.

i got the package today and to my surprise he shipped UPS and now i have to pay a brokerage C.O.D fee of 46.50$.  i asked them to come back later cause i was pretty confused.  I never agreed to have to pay this large fee just to trade a pair of goggles.  whats up?

sort off, if i had known beforehand that i would had to pay this fee, i would have never traded in the first place.  to be honest, its either i pay the fee and he pays me back OR they return the i/os to him and i get my eg2s back (if possible)

always make sure if you are buying or trading with someone from the US, tell them to use USPS becuase its cheaper and their is no brokerage fees

should have told him who to ship with dude.

UPS is a rip for international, they are fast but charge like $40 just to look at the package to decide its not worth any level of duty. its retarded.

USPS and Canada Post are the way to go when shipping between CAN and USA.



Not really his fault, doubt he even thought about it/. still shitty though
