FeeVerdict

About FeeVerdict

Package Fee Observatory — independent comparison of courier brokerage fees.

Mission

When DHL, UPS, or FedEx delivers an international parcel to Canada (or Australia, UK, …), the carrier often charges a brokerage or clearance fee on top of duty and tax. Many recipients don't know if that fee is normal or inflated.

FeeVerdict answers: « Was my fee normal? » — with numbers, sources, and a clear verdict.

What we are

  • A data observatory — table of observed fees + published barèmes
  • Free for users — verdict, comparison, aggregated stats
  • Independent — not owned by a carrier or customs broker

    • What we are not

  • Not a customs broker · not a duty calculator
  • Not a law firm · not a class-action lead service
  • Not a replacement for CBSA self-clearance — we link to it when it saves you money
