First the good news ...

I just received a Summit order (via USPS/Canada Post) and taxes/duties (QA 1 springs are made in China) had been taken at source, so the order could come directly to my door.

Bad news ...

Summit is using a US logiistics support company (i-Parcel) to pay the taxes/duties so they are not detailled on the bill, which means I might have to pay taxes a second time when it comes time to register the car. I have an inquiry into i-Parcel to see if I can get the tax/duty breakdown.

I will let you know of progress, if any. Overall it's good news, unless you're going to have to show receipts to the DMV. Oh, that's us ...

I also got an email from Summit saying that Summet now shipped direct to my door.
I decided to run 2 orders through to checkout to see what the difference might be in costs, as I thought that this could be a good idea for a change.
I decided to use a set of aluminum Edelbrock AMC heads for the test.
My comparison was between having them shipped to my door or me nipping across the border to get them myself from a shipping office.
The cost difference ended up being 200 dollars more to have them shipped to the door.
For that amount I will spend the 45 minutes it takes to go across the border and pick them up myself.
