Gents, would anyone be interested in $599 Spier & Mackay credit? If interested, please message me with what you're willing to pay.

I see it was just asked on the last page with no responses, but any recommendations on tailors around Mississauga? I'm looking to get sleeves taken in/buttons added on both a wool overcoat and a suit. Thanks!

Try Spier and Mackay store in Mississauga. They would alter other brands as well.

Can confirm. I went in store at Spier & Mackay and they do alter other brands. I'd like to point I did go in with a suit I bought from Lamarche in Korea that had unfinished sleeves. Unfortunately Spier & Mackay does not do this type of alteration as the tailor responsible for this job has left them. They referred me to Stitch It alterations to finish the sleeves.

Can also confirm S&M do alter other brands. Do you mean they don't do surgeon cuffs/working buttons? They do still shorten sleeves I believe. Which Stitch It did you go to and how was the experience? Thanks.

Would someone be able to explain how upS calculcated brokerage fees? This is insane...How is their brokerage fee that high on a $142 package. It's even higher than the actual duties.

Is there a way to dispute this?

I'll try but they are so bad over the phone about this.
I keep asking the same question about how this was calculated, and all they tell me is that it's calculated based on the declared shipping value. It's an awful experience.

It been discussed here a few times before! The only way to not pay this is to self declare and pay for duties and taxes at Pearson.

Do you have to call UPS or whoever in advance to let them know you want to self-declare?

Once your package is on its way and you have a tracking number, call UPS at 1-800-PICK-UPS. Let them know that you'll be clearing your own package. At this point, they should tell you where you'll need to go to pick up the paperwork to do so (it'll usually be a hub location).

I have two made to measure shirts incoming. Not going to go to Pearson to save $11.00 brokerage fee. When you receive pay now message do not pay and ask for self clearance.

Suits on sale still seem to excluded from the extra 25% off unfortunately. I guess Harrys does well enough on them to feel they dont need to add the extra discount.
