I refuse to purchase anything that ships internationally only via UPS. I normally choose FedEx for international.

When I purchased my collector's edition (when it was first announced), I contacted support and was assured it was going to be shipped via DHL, however it was shipped via UPS. Cry

UPS is otherwise fine for shipping within the same country. It is just their import brokering fees which are insane, unless you pay an arm and a leg for international expedited next-day, which includes brokering at a greatly reduced rate (still more than competitors).

I tried to setup a UPS account online, and that didn't work for no apparent reason, so I called them to setup an account but they couldn't do that except online /facepalm

It's been totally worth it! Not.

That and the useless Dust code...

Gah, the dust code..

I'll take a serious look if it ever comes to PC, but until then, the dust code has been very pointless

UPS Canada runs a scheme with fake import taxes.
Theirs a multi- million dollars class action lawsuit against UPS because of it, but until they are told to stop, they won't.


There should be a class action lawsuit against them for being massive dickheads in general. My cool story bro. $2200 mountain bike suspension piece arrives from the US after over a month in transit....shipping packaging worn through like it had been attacked by sledgehammers with belt sanders attached to them.....~$300 in taxes and $300 in fees. I paid them what they billed me then later they sent me a letter threatening to report me to the government for not paying tariffs.....went to the UPS store and the guy said we are a franchise we do not deal with you on this....called them.....ohhhh yeah you were billed, sorry.

Useless bunch of dicks they are. Anybody who ships to you using them is just as guilty.

They're called UP-oops in Canada for a reason.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Are you one of those people that didn't pick-up their Rorqual ORE Edition BPC?

I bought several of those for 350 million.

Bought the Collectror's Edition and got dinged by UPS like the OP. Hate that freaking company! 'Evil'
Haven't gotten anything regarding the "Holiday Bonus" of 90 days. Did you have to request it or did it just arrive?

I am still mad that those who bought it when it first came out get less value after they add all that game time to it now. . . Sad
