Update on my previous post.

In reference to my previous post regarding UPS "brokerage fees" The seller was as shocked as I was and refunded my money to include the UPS fees. My initial intent was to caution people on potential and unforeseen costs using certain shipping methods. I am just racking this up to our new Buffoon In Chief and recent trade policies enacted. I have a ceramic "Pepsi" bezel in the works through another vendor using USPS and I will see if this happens again. Suffice it to say that my rep watch buying efforts will be put on hiatus for a while. Plus, I have my eye on a gen Hamilton "Murphy" that I can get through the military for $750. No taxes, free shipping and no surprise "fees" or other sundry bullshit.
