I haven't accepted shipping through USP for years now.  If a U.S. supplier 
tries using these thieves and they in turn ask me for brokerage fees, I 
instruct UPS to either waive the brokerage fees or return the product from 
whence it came.  I then contact the supplier and notify them of the issue.
