Tired of ridiculous shipping charges.......

I just bought a item off ebay, The part is comming from Toronto Ontario, (southern Ont)I live in Thunder bay, which is northwestern Ontario, (1000 miles apart). The item is trim and needs to go in a pcv oversize container, Belive it or not it was cheaper to send it thru the states and for me to drive down to the USA/CANADA boarder (70 mile away) than to have sent by UPS here in Canada, (i live in the same province) fugure that one out?:wack: Shipping anywhere in Canada is high.
