Just a note to fellow Canadian residents. If you order parts from the states and the supplier wants to ship using UPS. >>>>>>DON"T. First of all I had an unbelieveable ordeal with them, but that's beside the point and a long story. But, even if everything went smoothly they have to use the services of a broker. I ordered a part in March which cost $35 US. With exchange at that time it was $49 Canadian. The shipping charge was $8 US, but the broker's fee was $30. Because of the poor service, over three weeks and hours on the phone, they waived that fee. Lucky me. If you use the post office, they do not use a broker. THAT MEANS NO FEE!!!!! Save yourself some bucks you can spend on other parts, or take your spouse out to dinner.
