Yes for us outside the US the shipping kills us. Shipping is at least $35 from these places, and many US vendors simply refuse to ship to Canada. Mato gets beat up lots for their shipping cost out of Canada, but if you compare apples to apples on cross border shipping, I think you''ll find that their cross border shipping practices are better then the others that have been mentioned.

So if you think Mato is bad, at least you have the option of buying stuff. Imagine if you wanted spare boards and were willing to pay the shipping, but MATO simply said, Sorry Canadian Customers only. That is the kind of response we Canucks get from many US sites. Luckliy I have a sister in Virginia, and I always have the option of getting things via her.

I just went through the ordering process from Raidentech. Went through the shipping calculator and to get that $89.99 PZVI to me in Canada Via USPS is $75.00. So how does Mato's cross border shipping rates stack up against that?????
