Ok... BigMig: You neatly avoided mentioning this phantom Canadian company's name... we have no reason to believe it even exists. You claim there is a cheaper way to get stuff across the border. Its called smuggling, and its ILLEGAL. You have a few legal options: hand-carry it & claim it at the border crossing, mail it or use a courier (as many do) or order it direct off the wholesaler (if you can) Comparing the other retailers to Mato on just raw prices and shipping is not fair: - Prices: none send a better battery, metal gearboxes, or freebies. DEDUCT the price of the better battery & gearbox from Mato's price, and see what you get. - Shipping: RaidenTech is almost next door to you, and Mto is almost the other side of the country. A fair comparison would be someone from Quebec show THEIR ship costs from RaidenTech (and other US sources) and Mato, and then take the median. Or use a location thats halfway between the two stores... on BOTH sides of the border. nd when cross-border shopping, and NOT using a courier, EXPECT delays, its called CUSTOMS. Whats a good deal for you is NOT a good deal for ALL of us. Be Fair, Be Honest, Be Real. PS: there is a little-known item called 'Block'. Look down the lower left of Perry S's posts. See that little red hand between Addr. & Gallery? Thats Block: you'll never get a PM from him or see another post from him again. If you truely wish to do what you say, try using it. jay612: They burned you on all your tanks? And you kept buying from them? Anyone else see this as VERY odd? And Tamiya Gearboxes don't need work? Unfair business practices? Don't just claim it, please explain your accusation. pcomm: I gotta agree, the more I see the complaining (and the thread length) if I were a potential buyer and read this thread, the more I'd see reasons to research the companies, and probably end up buying from Mato. Congrats guys on the Pro-Mato advertising campaign!
