PBB Logistics ripoff brokerage invoice Winnipeg Manitoba Canada
I recieved an invoice from a company idenifing the charges to be a brokerage fee for a cell phone i recently purchased. It was attached to the package when it arrived. At the time I didnt think it was legitimate as i had payed the amount including taxes and all shipping charges. I am being pursued by a CGC collection group and threatening legal action be commenced to enforce the full satisfaction of this debt (totaling $ 56.73). I believe I aquired this charge for having them handle my parcel enclosing the cell phone i purchaced from the internet for $136.89. I have tried paying by visa on the internet adress provided to me : payment-can.pbb.com but have had the page not come up. I am slightly worried about putting my cc number out in the first place but when it does come up i decied to place this report. I will contact the collection group directly to have the legitimacy of the charges investigated. Any one please conytact me if you have any information regarding my charges. I looked up the comany on a web search in hopes that i could find an alternate page to pay by but only found commercial pages for investors or global income planning. I am confused but the collection file opened on me is casing me enough problems to take action. this can no longer be ignored

For future reference ... when shipping goods into Canada, it is important to ask the shipper who will be handling customs brokerage.
It takes a little longer, but sending via postal system is usually the cheapest and doesn't typically involve 3rd party brokers.
I definately steer clear of United Parcel Service(their brokerage fees are outrageous imo).
