So my order is scheduled to arrive on Monday. Those who are in the US, what methods does UPS allow for paying the brokerage fees? Does credit card work? I think I read that they only accept check or something

Brokerage fees? I didn't pay anything. They just wanted my signature (which I taped to the door cuz I wasn't gonna be there at delivery time).

Really? How odd. Been hearing how you have to pay a brokerage fee from US KS backers in the comments section

To be fair, I have no idea of how the shipping world works. But I haven't gotten an email from UPS asking me to pay for anything and I didn't see any fee or dollar amount from the original tracking email....

I would just never get mine if I had to give them a check. What is a "check" anyway?

Right??? I don't have a checkbook. If they don't have an online payment system, then they aren't keeping up with the times.

Is that right? At the moment this is what the delivery status of mine looks like: 
 

The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release.
 

 
​Which is what you typically see while they are evaluating the package to determine whether it should be taxed? I dunno, I'm not complaining if they don't charge you anything. It's just that I've seen multiple mentions of being charged from supposed US backers

Listened to My R2A again for 2 hours last night and have concluded that they simply are not for me Sonically. They are great earphones just not for my untrained ears.
 
I have them listed in the for Sale section with a longer description asking for the Kickstarter Price of $122 to recoup my investment. They are NO LONGER available at this price. They are pretty much Burned in completely and I will also enclose a Burn-in log copy.
 
P.M. me here or in the Classified section.
 
Thanx, TWIN

You include burn-in logs? Yeesh, now I feel inadequate as a seller.

Like when you click on the tracking number to see shipment progress from the UPS Quantum View message? Hmm, yeah I don't recall ever seeing that in my shipping progress and I don't see it now when I look back at it either.

I got that same message in my tracking info. Basically, what was reported by Flare (they inquired directly with UPS) is that any package delivered in the US with a value over $200.49 would get charged the brokerage fees. Since I ordered the R2Pro I had to pay the fee, which was around $22. I believe this was mentioned by them in the comments section on Kickstarter.
 
I was able to pay by credit card, but only over the phone. I missed the initial delivery, and when I called them, they said I could pay by phone. So the next day when it was delivered, I just had to sign for it. I think I remember them saying that you can't pay via credit card in person, but I'm really not sure about that.
 
HTH!

Ah, thank you, that makes sense since the valuation for the R2A would be under $200. I just wanna be prepared on Monday. Guess I gotta go look for the ol' check book then :l 

 

[Midgetguy]

That makes sense! I only got the R2A so valuation would be below $200. So @Idsynchrono_24, did you get the R2Pro? Or more than one of the R2s?

They are only worth the Paper they are printed on....

So what do you print on? Standard printer paper or high-end card stock?
