To the Canadians on the board, can anyone tell me if it is cheaper to order parts directly from the USA or get them from a suplier in Canada?

I know we have all thought about it, but has anyone done it with success?

Here is an example:
I have seen ads for dropped spindles for $168.00US ($220CAD)from Chassis Tech, and I have gotten a few prices here, the cheapest being $375CAD. Can shipping, brokerage and duty be that much?

If it were a smaller priced item, it would be different, but be the time I buy all the suspension parts, the difference will be pretty great.

All comments (or Free parts) are welcome.
