Buying Parts from Canada

Geez..give me a break...rule one..NEVER use a courier service - too many problems.

BTW, I have bought lots from the states over the last 10 years or so and the ONLY problems I have had..and this included my son's sponsors ..were the ones that were shipped by fedex or ups.

UPS has even tried to charge me for duty tax etc on warranty item from TTI..the vendor wouldn't man up and approach TTI..I had to go direct.

Don't paint us all as crooks because you had something shipped by Fedex..which is an American Company..always ask to have it shipped Canpost or USPS. Me, and lots of other canadians ship Canpost with an auto 100 bucks insurance AND a shipping number at no extra change..

Lastly, if you are worried about your economy, try lookig at companies like wally mart who buy zillions from china who also put small companies or stores out of business. Then they toss a buck at a school and call themselves good business citizens.

At our wally mart, there are over 100 employes and only TWO FULL TIME JOBS..no benifits or anything for the others. At Home Depot, all the employees (including part timers) recieve health, dental and pension.
