A) Did you prepay GST to them
B) UPS Standard, Express, or Expedited?

Business and eBay are considered the same by canada customs and ups.

Who asked GST number - UPS or the company?

Does your invoice look like:

COMPANY

SHIP TO: A CANADIAN BUSINESS

SUB-TOTAL $100
GST $7
TOTAL $107

or

SUB-TOTAL $100
TOTAL $100

If the first one, call UPS and complain that on the Commercial Pro-Forma Invoice, it stated that you had already paid applicable taxes and request a refund of all funds paid to UPS otherwise you will comlaint o Silverman Helps.

The UPS asked me for the GST number.. and they charged me Broker fee plus lots of tax. And yes i do have an invoice from the company..
My invoice dont show GST or tax.. cuz i got the goods from States so there is no tax

On my UPS invoice it says:

Gst : 8.92
Broker Fee: 48.40
