Are there any active Canadians or international members on this forum that actively order items or parts from one of the many reputable American suppliers?
I don’t have issues paying currency differences, that’s life. My issue is all the additional charges…..duty, global shipping additions, unrealistic add ons to shipping etc.
For example, I attempted to order a Nu-Rex timing wrench from one of the popular suppliers. The wrench itself was 12 bucks US. On my door step 55 Canadian 😳. Just for clarity, Canadian dollar equivalent to 12 US dollars is about 16…that’s a conservative percentage. The rest is all the ridiculous add ons.
Is anyone aware of a company that has either an international or Canadian shipping program? This usually includes a standard overall fee that is much cheaper then what I’ve seen.
We used to have a fantastic outfit here in Alberta, but unfortunately he’s no longer in business.

Thanks in advance!
