    Where did the playfield come from? Was it shipped from the US? Or was it CPR in Canada? Or Mirco in Germany?

    The brokerage fee is a fee for a brokerage house to pay the sales tax upon the item entering the country. When you ship with USPS, Canada Post farms out the brokerage 'service' to a separate brokerage house. Fedex and UPS use an internal brokerage service, so without competition, their brokerage fees are quite high, and they never not charge brokerage.
