Buying Parts from Canada

Hello American friends. Just thought I would warn you about buying parts from Canadians.

I just bought a part from a guy in Canada. The shipment has been held up for a week now. Just got a call yesterday, they want a duty (tax) for the parts and the Canadian told them that I was going to pay it without warning me or giving me a heads up. This adds another $30 to the deal in my case, which if I had known, may not have made the deal.

I will not deal with Canadians any more, as I do not want to deal with the duties and arguing over who will pay them. I am not prejudiced or racist, just don't like getting hit with hidden fees once a deal is made.
