DirtyPCBs support / Re: Are you paying DHL on receipt of your PCBs?
I am also in Canada and DHL charges $10.50 processing fee and $4.25 transaction fee for every package I receive, in addition to the taxes & duty. The last two packages had duty & taxes of ~$3 but the additional fees brought the COD cost to $20.

I called DHL and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to avoid the $10.50 processing fee, other than self-clearing. The transaction fee can be avoided by setting up a brokerage account (requiring a credit application). Self-clearing, which I have done in the past with UPS, is a significant amount of additional work.

FedEx is nice because duties & taxes charged to an account don't incur any additional fees. Setting up a FedEx account is easy and free, even for residential customers.

I do like that DHL allows the COD charges to be paid online with a credit card before delivery.
