I bought some stuff from Phil, and told UPS that I would act on my own behalf for brokering the goods. It's a simple procedure that your local Fed Gov't office will walk you through. Just a form!

Anyway, UPS seemed to think that was too much trouble and they just delivered the package, brokered without any fees. Anytime I've had something shipped from the US I have done it this way, and everytime UPS fails to wait for me to broker it and just delivers it. The $35+ brokerage fees are a rip-off when you see how simple it is.

The US mail tip is an excellent one. Thanks!
