It... it's Canada. You can refuse deliveries and they just go back to the sender. That's how that works. Why did she accept them if she didn't order things? Because UPS sure as hell doesn't deliver anything that hasn't had the import duties and taxes paid first (source: me, several times because the phone number their automated system calls you from gets flagged as a spam number).
- mcyukon 3y agoNot sure who's delivering them to in this instance but here in the Yukon Territory, Amazon has contracted a private company to deliver their parcels. I have them on video just throwing a delivery over the chain link fence at our business at 8PM. Previously our Canada Post office handled them, which would have allowed someone to refuse the parcel.
- TheRealPomax 3y agoPackages with taxes on duties on them must have those paid before delivery happens. If it's a "normal" delivery then sure, you might end up with a pile of boxes, but that doesn't seem to be quite the case here.
- ke88y 3y agoThe article specifically states that UPS delivered without contacting her and when she wasn't home, and then sent her the bill.
- TheRealPomax 3y agoAs someone in Canada who's had UPS refuse to deliver due to outstanding import fees: something's fishy about that claim.
- rcxdude 3y agoThe carriers are inconsistent in this policy: I've experienced both situations.
- jean-bonneau 3y agoI've had UPS packages dropped on my front porch with import duties and taxes by UPS, without my consent. And then received a bill for duties+taxes+brokerage fees for a service that I never asked.
