bdc30 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I just got my first order from the new Fcp Store. Nice stuff, I got a t-shirt and a copag card set, for around 6000 points.What they DON'T mention anywhere is how much duty or tax or brokerage fee or whatever else they charge.For my 3 items, the total cost from the UPS guy was $40.11.The cost broke out as follows:GST 8.49Brokerage Fee 29.55Brokerage GST 2.07I don't know about anyone else, but it doesn't seem like such a great deal as a "bonus" to get 3 "free" items when their total value is pretty much equal to what I end up paying for them anyways.Just a heads up to any of my fellow Canadian Fcp'ers.Looks like we get screwed, again.

Rasty 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Standard UPS brokerage fee. Funny how they're not exactly up front about it.Write to UPS to complain - they're the ones who like to bend us over. Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how they're not exactly up front about it.Write to UPS to complain - they're the ones who like to bend us over.Then I'd rather they just send it through regular mail. I can wait a week or two....Plus, I thought that was the reason that the prices were jackedup was to include shipping charges. Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 People still live in Canada? crazy! Get out!Another option incase you dont know is they are planning on allowing you to use points to buy into tournaments, etc in the near future similiar to the way Pokerstars does it. May be the best way to go for you Canucks. Link to post Share on other sites

May be the best way to go for you Canucks.Yeah, but I know I wouldn't want to buy into tournaments with points. Sure it would be free but I'd rather have stuff. Of course I don't live in Canada so it's a moot point. But I really feel for you guys. Link to post Share on other sites

You weren't supposed to be charged any of those fees, just your points.If anybody is charged anything additional for their order from the FCP Store please e-mail fcpstore@fullcontactpoker.com with the details and we'll make it right.
