A Bad Experience, A Warning, And A Request

USPS works for me -- I've never had any need to use private couriers.
All you have to do is pay postage -- USDA/APHIS will forward the package.

Dear PBS Members,
I recently made a large see order from Silverhill, and made the
mistake of choosing Aramex courier as the shipper . UPS acts as
Aramex's agent in the US. At Louisville, KY. [port of entry] UPS
invented a 1 cent customs charge and tried to charge me $82 in Customs
Brokerage Fees. The package had a Small Lots Permit label. The only
way UPS could get custody of the package in Louisville would be to
either remove the permit label, or bypass customs. There is NO IMPORT
DUTY on small lots of seed. I have reported the incident to both PPQ
and ICE.
WARNING When ordering seeds from Silverhill, DO NOT CHOOSE Aramex as
shipper.
REQUEST: Please BOYCOT UPS.
Thank you!
Marc Rosenblum Falls City, OR zone 8b
