Mailing Packages
I bought something online and it said UPS will drop it off. I just have a question about duty. If I have to pay duty of the product I bought, how will that work when they drop it off at McMaster?
I live in Bates and pick up mail and packages at Keyes, I just need to know if any one has bought anything online before.

I've bought things online before and it shouldn't be an issue. You just go pick it up at the Keyes Service desk. I've had packaged delivered by Purolator with no problems as long as your name/building and mailbox are written on it or a combination of 2 of the 3.

If you bought it from Amazon, they usually collect a deposit from you when you purchase it to cover duty and extra fees. But, if this isn't the case I think UPS usually just sends you an invoice if you do end up needing to pay duty. Not exactly sure, I'd contact the front desk?
