GMCanada9430: How far south in Alberta are you? I'm in Vancouver and get parts shipped to Point Roberts, WA. It's about a 35 minute drive. I take the dog and make a half day out of it. I declare when I come back and have never had a problem bringing stuff back. I was thinking that if you were south enough, maybe ship to a town just across the line. This works if there is a town and there is a company in the business of accepting parcels. The one I go to needs $3.50 for processing. Just an idea. I know the dollar isn't great right now (Getting a bit stronger). I price out locally, nation wide and in the states (with exchange) and see what the best deal is. The US companies ship quite quickly. I like to support Canadian companies but they don't always have what I need. Also, check out
