The amount of money they would make by checking every single shipment and package they would definitely make back in salaries for some additional staff.

What they can do is randomly select packages and check their contents. If too many do not have what is declared they can then make that shipper have to have every package inspected which would mean their stuff takes much longer to clear, their customers get pissed off and go somewhere else. Doing so makes sure that the shippers start to check and properly declare all the items they're shipping.

Of course, if the officers gettin a bligh from the shippers then that not gonna happen. Can get around that by rotating officers regularly so that they would have to give too many blighs and it is no longer feasible.

Girl here in work was saying that RBC, IIRC not allowing you to only go over your limit a certain amount of times for the week/month(can't remember exactly). Anyone knows for sure? I'm not with RBC btw.

Bluesky isn't all that reliable when it comes to delivering ur packages and most times I don't get an invoice when my package is cleared.. I usually wait until the driver calls then I know how much I have to pay

Get the weight & dimensions from your supplier ..

Aero with give you an estimate of your total cost .

Purchased 4 rotors , brought it in via Aero and after everything it
so much cheaper than anybody in TT.

And the rotor was a el boss top brand :)
