If more of you can provide invoices for these fees so that I can pass them on to UPS (as proof) it would be very helpful. (Our UPS contacts were just as surprised as I was to hear of these fees) Please send them to orders@obeygiant.com as soon as possible and make sure your tracking number is on there too.

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
i would love to know where this values came from...i paid 80,29€ on extra shipping service for one obey set that cost me 90usd and now i paid 96,49€ for a print who cost me 70usd...seems completely arbitrary....

Tell me if I get this wrong...
imposto valor acrescen = taxable value (VAT) of the item
taxa por desembolso = taxable value (VAT) of the delivery
intervençao de despachante = dispatcher intervention
outras txs. gov = other government taxes
selos = stamps
emolumentos pessoais = personal fees
imposto valor acrescen = taxable value (VAT) of the item
taxa por desembolso = taxable value (VAT) of the delivery

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
normally when a item pass to the customs i pay this taxes:
imposto s/valor acrescentado=duties fees
outras txs. gov=other country taxes
with ups i pay this extra fees:
intervençao de despachante=ups
taxa por desembolso=ups
selos=ups
emolumentos pessoais=ups
i will wait for the ali invoice to compare both since they charged me more for a 70$ print that a 90$ print...

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
My understanding of VAT is that the delivery cost (postage cost) is taxable as well (whether or not it was being collected for USPS delivery is a different matter altogether). And I would assume "stamps" refers to some government "stamping."
On the intervençao de despachante, did you call UPS to have them change the location of delivery or something? That's the "dispatcher intervention" part.
I do not understand the personal fees ("emolumentos pessoais") at all.

taxa por desembolso = taxable value (VAT) of the delivery-wrong- this is a fixed value to pay to ups to get this from the customs(then to send me to my house is another service)
selos = stamps = they put this stampes after receive the item on customs so send to me (why is not that included in the original shipping cost?)
emolumentos pessoais = personal fees - no, isn´t a personal fee, it´s a profit fee...i can´t tell you why they charge that and how they calculate this fee...

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
yes, postage costs are taxable as well and that is included on the "imposto s/valor acrescentado=duties fees, in this case 30,60€ - for the print and postage costs value) - this is normal to pay...admonkey wrote:My understanding of VAT is that the delivery cost (postage cost) is taxable as well (whether or not it was being collected for USPS delivery is a different matter altogether).

the stamps are not from government stamping are from ups, the government fee for this is outras txs. gov=other country taxes...
"I do not understand the personal fees"...neither do i...

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
Was the final delivery to you made by an employee of UPS or was it made by a member of the postal service in your country?
Regarding the stamp costs to get an item through customs, the difference is probably between the USPS being governmental and UPS being private. Postage rates between countries (government services) is set by quasi-treaty (the Universal Postal Union), so that the fee the sender pays covers all postage handling (excluding taxes). Private companies (like UPS) aren't covered that way and the receiving government charges them at each step (and they, in turn, charge you).

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
This is just beyond a joke now. I haven't bought a print since UPS (United Pilferer Service) was employed. I really wanted to go for Debbie Harry & Ali too.
So, the only way to get round this is for Europeans to find someone in the US, willing to accept a shipment & again willing to forward it on. Pretty convenient for you hey, Mr. Obey? Thanks a bunch.

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
What exactly are they supposed to respond to?
They've responded previously and have already seen the UPS invoice I posted for Deloused.
I'd love to see more detailed invoices posted to this thread. Really. I'm as curious as anyone.

Re: PLEASE can we change UPS back to USPS!
Not sure a lot of people want to throw an extra 80 100 euros just to post an invoice here. I Already did get raped twice , its enough.
And its not just the extra costs problems , UPS implementation in Europe is far from the one you can have in usa , driving one hour to go get your print is insane.
And what are they supposed to respond to , maybe just maybe to us , saying ok we can go back to usps , like they did about a year and a half ago. we are their loyal customers , we've been supporting them for a while , I know its just a tiny drop in the ocean , but still ...
There is solutions to make this work , charge more money for handling and shipping to international customers is one easy solution to cover their costs and they could even make money off that.
I could let this thread die , and stop caring , but I wont , I will fight till the end they might get tired of our messages and switch back to usps! HOPE!

UPS just crushed my Harring print, they were perfect up until now.
Who's got my old stickers?
