It's directly through UPS and the discount is associated with your account

Tested both UPS and NetParcel

On a shipment that was supposedly $50
UPS with discount - $30
NetParcel - $21

Anecdotal, of course
I'll try again with a couple more shipments just to check, but thinking NetParcel still the better option

In those cases I usually just buy my labels from CP directly.

I could send a small parcel to US for like 8-9 CAD, tracked and delivered within 5 days which is surreal when Canada Post charges much higher, easily over 15CAD for any tracked parcel. UPS standard also comes with insurance of up to 100CAD for free.

The issue I am having with UPS is with their exorbitant brokerage fees for incoming shipments to Canada. Has anyone tried getting a better deals on the brokerage fees ?

Has anyone tried creating a label on Netparcel without an automated Paypal payment ? I have some USD on my account and Paypal will charge that USD balance at a conversion rate of 1.25 (5-6% fees on top of spot rate). It seems that you can't configure an automated payment on Paypal to avoid balance draw as default, so I suppose the best for Canadians with USD balance is to initiate a manual payment on netparcel either with card or Paypal purchase if possible.
