Sal, I've ordered lots of stuff from Potterman.  And I've never been spanked
with those kinds of duty/taxes.  Just have them shipped by surface mail.  The
cost is like $5.00 for handling plus the regular shipping charges.  You've got
to pay GST too, but thats it.  There shouldn't be any other taxes or duties on
the stuff a la free trade agreement.

I think I had a set of rotors, a driver side motor mount, pads, and shoes sent
up for like $25 shipping.

If you get it sent by Fed EX well then its a whole different story.  Most of
the regular postal shippments reach Canada in a week.
