What the heck? I ain't ever heard of no brokerage fees....... Shipping is to Canada so I am assuming some duties or whatever. I called thr local parts store and they wanted 170$ for the TCA1 brand

It's a fee that ups and fedex charges to make sure customs collects the duties.
Basically, they are charging you for the service. It's not included in their ground shipping quotes. Almost everything comes out of the states ups ground since it the cheapest way, until it gets to your door. Brokerage is included on ups air iirc. But (of course) that costs more.
For example: http://www.ups.com/media/en/ca/rate_guide_ca.pdf
FedEx is the same.
Usps does not charge brokerage fees, but most businesses don't ship usps since ups and fedex pickup at the sellers place of business and usps does not.
