I'm never shipping out of this country again.

Pretty much so. It's just very aggravating. I'm having a bad day for the most part.

I traded a car fender with a guy one time. Cost was 40 to ship when it got there they wanted a 60 oversize fee that I had to eat.

Live and learn.

I would've paid $150 for the amp. I'm actually looking for a nice 4 channel right now for my dad. I bought him an mb quart qsd 213 set and a pioneer hu and I've been looking at kicker 4 channels. After the online car stereo blows thread I'm hesitant to buy from them. The only reason I was interested in them was because of their prices. I heard their customer service blows.

Use US Postal Service instead of UPS. With USPS you do not pay duties or taxes.

If you valued the amp at 100 bucks and ended up paying $40.00 UPS has ***** you IMO. Duties should not be 40%

Well never delt with Canada persay with shipping, just had a canadian customer who let me ship something to his friend in NY and he went and got it, bingo, bango. Saved me quite a bit.

I usually don't ship to Canada unless they want to pay all shipping fees and duties. I hardly get anybody from Canada anymore in my want ads, lol!

I have spent well over 1000 dollars with them and never had a problem with them.

Sometimes you need to call to see if stuff is in stock, which can be a hassel as it takes forever to get a hold of someone.

Usually patience pays off in situations like that.
