to canadian members....where to buy new parts???

[nwcove]

is there any place in canada, with reasonable prices, where i can get omc and sierra parts? i just went through the marineengine site, filled my cart, it added up to about $150 usd, shipping was around $25 ( no problem), canadian taxes, about $20 ( no problem)......but to pay a customs broker $33 ( 20% of the cost of the parts!).....thats a problem. thus my question.....any similiar place in canada that i can order omc and sierra parts? ( some parts i know i can get at uap/napa, but other parts are omc only, and the local dealer will only take an order of $100...their cost, they tell me to wait till spring to order when things pick up).

post is probably in the wrong forum?

Why did you have to pay a broker? Did you ship it UPS?
I usually get stuff shipped USPS to Canada Post, then you just pay a bit of duties.

i just checked the order out, and it showed the customs charge, the exchange rate charge, hst, and a brokerage charge. my $150 order quickly went above $200.
