Default Cross-post: Canadians ordering parts from USA?

- Sorry for the cross-post; going to see if Redcat or HSP owners have any thoughts on this as well -

Hi everyone,

Was wondering if there's anybody on here from Canada (I'm in Vancouver) who has ordered parts from the US for their Exceed / Redcat / HSP (etc.)? I've heard that anybody who receives via FedEx or UPS can get charged a very hefty brokerage fee, and am wondering if you're from Canada and:

1) Have you ever ordered from nitrorcx.com or any other site that ships via FedEx / UPS? Did you get dinged? Where you ordering parts or a whole vehicle kit / RTR?
2) Do you know of anywhere that ships via USPS, and how was your experience?
3) Do you know of anyone in Canada that ships, and how was your experience?
4) Any general advice?

many thanks!
Rob
