I fought them, successfully, and got a 'good will' adjustment. They claim that they only offer goodwill once BTW. This excessive brokerage usually turns out to be just short of the UPS for next day air service and as such only applied to ground shipments. I hope the class action suit goes through. They are overdue for a legal slapping. Regards, Greg Joe Leung writes: > I was one of the victims of this outrageous 'handling fees'.
