On Tuesday monring, July 26, I ordered a 60D body, Hoya ND-400x 77mm filter, and a SanDisk 16 GB SDHC card. By that evening I recieved an email stating that the order had been shipped. I thought I would get it sometime the next week. It was at my door Thursday morning, July 28!!!

I'd recount all the ways that UPS has pissed me off, both in my one Adorama order (not again until they ditch UPS), and other times I haven't paid attention to what service is being used, but I wish to avoid an aneurysm this evening. UPS? Not buying. They're absolutely horrible in every conceivable way and even manage to suck in some inconceivable ways.

DeepShadows said:You are all forgetting the scam UPS runs on the end user (which I've been told directly from two different UPS employees) "Brokerage fee" which does not exist when using usps. I have been charged over $200 3 months after receiving a product and $187 a week after receiving my monitor worth $400 from the states. I have not had ONE good result using UPS in over 25 times. USPS is cheap, fast for me, and have never lost or damaged a package. I will not be ordering from Adorama until UPS scamsville is no longer an option (fedex blows too). B&H got it sooooo right with the purolator service, they have my business because of it.

When you ship using the low cost standard shipping, they add a brokerage fee based on value (none for low cost items). When you use premium shipping, its included in the cost of the shipping. They also collect your taxes as required by the Canadian government. You really can't blame Canadian taxes on UPS.
