please tell me who you use for shipping, because if I can ship ballasts for $8.75US across the border I would be in heaven!!!!!!!!!! with shipping and duty you are no where close to $8.75US unless you are shipping illegally...........

Damn! Shipping my book from amazon cost almost $50 cad
 shipping a gift from Cali to port moody cost nearly $60 cad. I bought some vitamins from a US distributor, the shipping and duty and brokerage cost me nearly $100!!! US postal was the $60, UPS was the $100 and I forgot who the book was shipped thru. Do you guys get it shipped to a bellingham or point roberts address and then smuggle it across the line? I seriously would like to know, I HATE paying so much for shipping..... |

Holey cow man you are getting ripped off! I bought two books off Amazon.com last year and I think the shipping was like $15US max. They were hardcovered textbooks to boot and weighed a ton.

Lostmind, you must be getting it shipped overnight or something. Either that or the guy you are buying stuff from is pocketing a bunch of fees for handling. I buy a lot of things from the US. I had an ISDN modem complete with manuals and box shipped to me for $15US just a few weeks ago. An entire lighting system that I bought last year with ballast and pendant and bulb was about $22US. I get stuff shipped straight to my address here, not Bellingham.

yup the only time I have paied more than 10 bucks shipping from the US is when they sent it USP by mistake.. 6 bucks worth of LED's and USP wanted 35.00 in brokerage
 they took them back that time free (returned to sender.)Steve

Don't bring shipping into the equation, as the bottom line is a few more $$$ still doesn't dent the fact that a quality Icecap MH ballast can be found for $115US.
