Pros: -Quick customer service response.
Cons: -Outrageous Brokerage Fees -Late shipments non-refundable

Exact same brokerage problem here... charged $20 on a $23 item, on top of the $12 shipping fee. Still, a much cheaper learning experience than the $100 fees some of you were required to pay. Anyways, the shipment was late and I sent UPS an angry email, ...
