$%&!@#$#%
Now there's some good politics .
I just ordered a few parts for my kites from Best and they said they have to use ( a shipping co. ) and cant use USPS ! They have too much loss using USPS !
Now , I have to add on Can. taxes and Mr. right wing business man who muscled their way into my pocket brokerage fees and taxes on those fees as our government taxes all services ! Phew , Phew
Free Trade My Ass ,
Ha , on a better note
I bought a waist harness too . 53 years old and finally getting out of my diaper .
I have been using a Pro Limit seat harness for six years , it's time to let go , maybe , well see , I'll try it .....
The reason for getting these items from Best is that I recieved a 30% discount for using their forum . Good deal . With these extras now , as I've bought from them before and got them to ship USPS no probs. This should eat up my savings , using the other method .
Good Luck to all of us with the Politics shit man ......

I feel your pain man. I'm also north of the 49th and have had stuff shipped up here from BEST via UPS and have gotten killed on the brokerage fees. I ordered a new bridle and some pulleys a while back and got dinged $40 or so on brokerage fees alone. At least I live a short drive from the border. I now get things sent from BEST via UPS to a shipping company on the US side, then bring it across myself and pay duty at that point. This works way better for me, though I understand if it's not an option up in Devon. You might consider going through a reseller when possible. Perhaps New Wind in HR could hook you up via USPS, I know they've been great when I've dealt with them in person, though you'd lose the 30% forum discount. How did you score that anyways, I'm on that forum, I want a discount too! If you find a good Canadian best vendor let me know.

Cheers!
