Got home today and I had a notification in the mail saying my wheatley tune has arrived at the post office and is ready for pickup.....but there is a $271.00 pick up fee!! Like wtf! I paid whealey the 275 for the tune before it shipped so it must be brokerage fees, is there anyway I can fight this!

I have never had this happen before as far as I am aware,but it really sucks.I am not sure exactly what the hell they are wanting you to pay for,but it is irritating!!!!!
Heck if i does not get resolved shortly,I will just mail another PCM out and hope they send the other back.If not,oh well I will take the loss.They need to get in contact with me and hope they do!!

Sometimes your charged a fee (usually a small one) when you receive an item from out of your country, the fee is usually based on the value of the item and is usually about 5%. but in this case i have no idea what the hell is going on

They're the bullcrap fees we gotta pay when we get parts shipped from the states to Canada. It's the bill for getting the paperwork done to get it through customs at the border, I think. The price is pretty arbitrary depending on what company gets it across the border, and it makes no sense. The brokerage fees for me to haul 43 metric tonnes of cattle feed across the border was 40 bucks, and Zach's getting charged $271 for a PCM that weighs less than a kilogram... Ya.... I live an hour from Fortuna, North Dakota, so I get parts shipped to the bar there and pay a buck a package for the service. Chevy Cowboy, living in Moncton, is not so lucky.

Hmmm, back in the day when my tuner was Canadian I had to pay ~$25 to ship a PCM across the line, as far as I know the recipient had to pay $0. Something is wrong but (I always labeled my shipments "miscellaneous car parts" if that makes any difference?
