CANADIAN TARIFF
Summary: st1100-steve shared their experience of purchasing a used washer part from a seller in Canada. They were informed by UPS that there was a tariff charge that needed to be paid, which amounted to $41, significantly higher than the $27 cost of the part itself. st1100-steve chose to refuse the shipment and send it back to Canada, with the seller stating it wasn't their problem and having a no returns policy. Despite apologizing to the seller, st1100-steve is seeking suggestions on how to handle the situation, highlighting the excessive tariff and shipping costs they are facing.
A week ago I bought a used Maytag washer part from a seller in Canada.
I read there could be a tariff. I iread 10% says Google. The part was $27. USD. My UPS
guy knocked on the door. He said I had to pay the teriff to get it. He would not
take a debit card, or cash or a personal check . Only a money order to pay online.
So, I said I will go online. Once I did, the UPS charge was $41. 00. that's about 130%. of the part value.
I was able to refuse the item and send back to Canada UPS. The seller said not his problem.
I agreed, but I am not paying $41 more for a $27 part. ANY SUGGESTIONS.? Seller had no returns but
that has not stopped my last several successful returns. I apologized to the seller but am not paying that much.
So far I am out the $27 plus about $12 shipping.
