Default Quadratec, not for Canadians!

I wanted to purchase a few things from Quadratec and when I saw the shipping charges, well !!!! I live in Quebec, Canada (nowheres near the North Pole!!!) and they wanted $100 US shipping for a $200 purchase (caps, T's and floor liners). I figured I'd never mind the floor liners and just go for two caps and a T ($50 value) and they wanted $72 to deliver it !!! Needless to say, it didn't take me to many to decide to look for another place to spend my money. Any better suggestions on where to but for us Canucks????

X2 on that.

Anything that does not ship to Canada from the US via USPS is going to also be subject to duty/brokerage fees too so watch out for the "hidden" fees too!

Exactly, and this year it's near 60$ for the UPS broker fees

I wrote a thread last year about that.

Quadratec doesn't want to ship by USPS in Quebec. Ridiculous

95% of all my parts have been from northridge4x4.ca, the other 5% have been from the for sale section on this site.

I've had good luck with Stan. Got shorted on both my orders, but he overnighted me the stuff he forgot. They are my exclusive supplier (unless I get stuff shipped to the border and go get it. Dollar at par, but paying 30% more just cause the store is in Canada).
