yes mato got expensive shipping fees even for a Canadian)
my board at mato cost me 16.00$ can.(april2006).
with the shipping ended 31.00$ ,
that`s 15$ for shipping when the real shipping cost is more like 7.00$[&o].

i suggest buying the replacement board(15$) and tank at nova hobby ebay store,cheaper shipping fees and price:
