I'm definitely going to have to revisit ordering from them if they will ship USPS, as getting some of the wyes and manifolds I was looking for in another post were going to be over 100 bucks from a local spa company, only 40 plus shipping from Flex.

Now my evil mad scientist plumbing genius side is taking over, oh the possibilities

They've always shipped to me through USPS, all I've had to pay when it lands is GST and a handling charge ($9.95 on $289 order).

I think $30 on a $100 order is a lot. I just order from Southern Drip now and they have every fitting imaginable. I used to be under the impression it was hard to find fittings in Canada, but it really isn't if you know where to look, so I don't see the point in ordering from the US.

Get them to ship via USPS and ask them to make sure the commercial invoice states that the products are made in the USA. You should not get duties (or associated brokerage) charges.
