So I get my shipping notification from Musterbrand.... I'm guessing all Canadian orders shipped via UPS. F*ck. These clowns will likely charge 50% value brokerage, like they do every time. Musterbrand indicated they use DHL for all shipments (euro, and international)... I would not have ordered my Coll.Ed. if I knew UPS was involved..

Have any Canadians received their packages yet?? What was the damage?

I have yet to recieve my collectors edition...

My order says its through DHL, and the cost for shipment is paid for.

If this is the case, they'll get me harassing them...

UPS sucks about everything. Most of my packages I receive through them have at least some kind of damage on them. The last one I got was even half open, the tape was ripped.

Lets mass-mail Musterbrand, expressing our displeasure over using UPS (evil empire) instead of the promoted DHL (nice people) :P

28 cents per mile... Hmmm so if lived you in say Vancouver, from Atlanta that would cost...errrr... About 1.2 million USD xD hahahaBig smile

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

If it's UPS Ground you're frelled.
Strangely, UPS Air to Canada charges only a nominal and reasonable brokerage fee. Yet they come through the same warehouse and get delivered by the same bitter little man. So paying more for Air delivery can actually save a sizable chunk of money. Go figure.
UPS should set up a division in Eve, where their extortionate behavior would be consider adding content to the game.

Even ground shipments will go air for a bit. It will wait at your depot until it gets closer to the date, then go on a truck ;)

I am in a small little town five hours north of Calgary. It is not unusual for UPS to use Purolator to deliver on their behave. That said, it is equally not unusual for UPS to claim delivery but not actually come to town! This results in a 2.5 hour drive to Edmonton to collect from their depot.

Many years ago my wife won a prize from A&E (when it use to be a good channel). It was to be delivered by UPS. We were notified that she had to collect it in Edmonton. Upon arrival we were presented with a broker bill. The bill was greater than the retail price of the price! We left without collecting.

Same Sad

I've avoided making purchases from some online stores, because they only used UPS.

There is a DHL station one block from the delivery location.

Scheduled Delivery: Thursday, 10/24/2013, By End of Day
