Canadians - probs buying parts from U.S.?

Hey, I'm looking to pick up some bits in the next month or two:

-Precision Brakes big brake kit from Frankemcar -or-
-Powerslot rotors from TireRack -or-
-brake kit from EatRiceZone.com

-RSB and FSTB from Cattman, maybe y-pipe

Any Canadians buy from these places (or others) and have problems getting it shipped up here? Aside from exchange, any other fees or gotchas that came up?

I noticed Tire Rack uses UPS and they will "collect duties and brokerage fees" before delivery. Bet that aint cheap.

Thanks in advance!

He means the big brake kit that was on the GD forum awhile ago; 4 piston wilwood calipers, etc..

I bought the Addco RSB from Cattman. Here are the costs..

$115 USD + extra $10 USD for shipping to Canada = $190 CAD
+ $45 CAD for brokerage and GST... Total $235 CAD.

Best way is to get Cattman to send it USPS so you only have to pay GST and not brokerage (which is a another way for UPS to make more money)
