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
