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!

$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)
