unless you have a local corvette shop in your area, pretty much only leaves the big guys in the states(mid america, ecklers, corvette central and others) which sucks for shipping and broker fees. at least this is what i've found so far. there are places just over the border that will recieve and store packages and if you pick them up yourself you save the broker maybe no cheaper if you have to drive there and back from edmonton though.

I got a used column (Tilt Telescope) for $350.

Corvette Central finally became a Canada Customs broker. Unfortunately, they waited until I had spent over $40,000 for parts, shipping and brokerage fees across the border from various suppliers.

The big savings is in the UPS brokerage fees..........which many of you Canucks will know are an absolute, freakin' rip-off. Corvette Central handles it all at their end and the UPS guy just smiles and hands you the goodies.
