    Quoted from Apollyon:

    You may get a bill in the mail from Fed Ex in a few weeks. I have shipped things from the States and had this happen. Arrived at my door without any fees, and then got the bill later with customs / brokerage fees.

    Yup, me to. Several times in fact.

    Quoted from ImNotNorm:

    Greasy....like photo radar. You think your in the clear then bam...you get nailed a few weeks later.
    Does it happen every time?

    If Fedex/UPS is involved there is a pretty good chance you will get a bill. ( since they will charge you a fee on top of it ) They grossly over charge for fees too. Call and speak to a manager, ask them how they come up with this.... ( might not be exact numbers anymore )

    $0-20 free

    $20-$100 is a $15 clearing fee

    Then above $100 is a percentage. LOL, its the same fucking paperwork, pure gouging, its pathetic.

    Quoted from Mitch:

    Yup they screwed me once never again. USPS or nothing.

    That is the best advise for sure. Problem is, I doubt USPS would ship a boxed playfield. They have size and weight limits that are a lot less then UPS/Fedex.
