Hello Nick,
Glad all's well with your part.
About shipping to Canada - you're right most companies won't make the effort to
ship via US Post and Canada Post. Most grab the simplest - UPS.
Watch out for them though. I just had a shipment come from Vic Brit via UPS.
UPS does the customs paperwork, and simply charged the GST (that's normal), but
then they added $55 Duty. I had very carefully specified on my order to be
written on all invoices "Antique Car Parts - Duty Exempt". Vic Brit did that,
but UPS ignored it.
I refused to pay the $55 so the driver wrote it off. I phoned Canada Customs
to make sure I was right, and was assured that to be true. So phoned UPS and
they had by then removed it from my account. Do you think they would have
forwarded the $55 to Canada Customs?
If at all possible insist on postal shipments.
