You would think that according to the PR and any map you happen to pull out - but sadly - it is just not the case. Putting aside that 1/3 the way across Canada is about the same distance as Paris to Moscow - there is still a fully staffed border and seperate currency in place here. It will cost me at least $45 ($56 after exchange and fees for same) for two week shipping on a used pair of struts from Tulsa - before the customs brokerage of $50 and the GST (VAT) of 15% on it *all* by the time it gets here. Nope - Canada is no more attached to the United States than Cuba, at least as far as this consumer can figure. I know it really doesn't make much sense and as I said, fine United States franchise though I'm sure it is. But every time I see someone directing Canadian biz to a US shop - I have to treat it as a pure luxury and, I gotta say, that sux on a lot of levels now that I have the Aero of my dreams. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Kurt Swinghammer - You Turn Me On I'm a Radio http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/136.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in no sign up required - all the Time
