I just dont understand why the Canadian retailers can't compete. The only

Brokerage for my lift was $36.00 through UPS... not bad for 5 boxes weighing
over 200 lbs combined. The shipment value was $866 US. I can live with that.
On the other hand, I was mighty pissed paying $24 brokerage for a car stereo
a couple years back.

Re: Opinions on this product.
I looked into it a little more and now realize brokerage is more of a flat

brokerage on a large order.
