    PSA - Sport Conrad Customs Charge...

    For all who got in on the Gotamas from Sport Conrad - I did end up getting a bill from UPS for the customs charge $5.74 plus $5 brokerage fee = a whopping $10.74

    Just keep an eye out for your bill, don't get sent to collections!

    That sounds about right. 2.6% of the total plus the brokerage fee.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

    exactly... UPS seems to be legit, charging a small fee for their trouble. Don't pay too much to any 3rd party, and don't forget to pay UPS!!!
