Other carriers definitely charge you a brokerage fee to do the customs clearance for you. Some are only around $8 iirc, very reasonable. The only time you don't get charged is with Canada Post/ USPS de minimus packages.
Also this is like a well known thing when ordering from the US, your customer is just being a dick and causing you problems for no good reason.
This is great on all levels and I feel like they were all intentional.

I wanted to know if my local Food Basics store is tracking me.
I looked at the privacy policy on foodbasics.ca and not finding any mention of this, but wanting to be sure, I emailed their Privacy Officer.
This is the email I sent:
Hello,
I shop at the food basics store at [Address] in [City],
I would like to know if you use facial recognition or identification technology in the store? And if so, for what purpose, and if the information is stored for how long?
Thank you,
[Me]
Here is the response I got:
Hello,
I confirm that Metro does not use facial recognition technology or any other technology that allows the identification of individual at the Food Basics stores.

It's the fee for them to file the import paperwork for you. Every shipping company charges some amount for it. The customs broker we use at work charges $100 to do it. If you don't want to pay it you have to call and tell them to hold your shipment at the border until you have it cleared through customs yourself, not a new thing.
I don't have any sympathy for someone who is clearly aware of how it works and thinks they can just bully their way out of paying charges they're responsible for. The receiver is presumably also an adult who knows how to drive down to the UPS depot and pick up the package they refused to take delivery of the first time. You're doing way more than you should to for someone who doesn't deserve your time.
