Jason; I find money and time wise, Post Office is the best for me. UPS and Purolator charge a fee for clearing it through customs, Canada Post doesn't. Took two weeks to get a Flyback here from Electronica, which was not the fault of Electronica. I guess Customs is a government job...Monday and Tuesday are too close after the weekend...and Thursday and Friday are too close to the coming weekend, so basically they are just working Wednesday.;-) -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx teltek@xxxxxxxxx On 29-Nov-04, at 5:26 PM, Jason - Excel Distributing wrote: > Hi, just wondering, I checked my UPS cost for a 1 lb. to Ontario and > it is > $11.
