DigiKey Order?

Discussions on anything related to the evolving idea of Saskatoon's first "makerspace". What is a makerspace to you? What should it be called? What's the charter?

DigiKey Order?

Post by Tetragrammatron »

I have an order for around $15 I'd like to make this week. Anyone need anything? I'm buying some parts to build the following:

Excellent, I'll wait until tomorrow night to place the order just to make sure there isn't anyone else interested.

Actually, I can order it tonight, and then we can exchange our fiat currency at our mutually agree'd upon meeting time tomorrow.

Order placed. Prices work out to pretty much what you guys estimated. I chose the UPS Worldwide Saver one for $20.00. Was that stupid? I never know which shipping option to choose!

I didn't think there was any other shipping option. It is usually set at $8 unless your order is over $200 then it is free.

Holy fuck. They tried to deliver the order today (total cost was $73 USD, $20 of which is shipping cost), and they're hitting me with a $63 brokerage + duties fee. WTF? I am %99 sure I used UPS World Saver service the last time, and it didn't have any brokerage on it whatsoever.

So the question is...what do we do? Do I reject the package and demand a refund and eat the $20 shipping cost? I'm going to call DigiKey tomorrow to ask what I should do, because this is crazy talk. I assumed UPS World Wide Saver was air mail, otherwise I would have used USPS so I didn't get nailed with brokerage charges. I'm really pissed.
