So here was my thinking process ...
If I'd ordered it shipped to U.S. Address I would have paid N.Y. sales tax. U.S. Address would have charged $5 to receive the package. Then when I brought it home I "might" have been charged Canadian sales tax at the border. Add the time and expense to drive down and pick it up. Pretty much a no-brainer!

However, I do have a bunch of stuff coming from Stephens, YearOne and RockAuto - none of which provide free shipping so these justify U.S. delivery and the drive to pick up - on the way to Fall Carlisle.



Not to mention at the border they're also charging you tax on top of tax and shipping (if there was a shipping charge). I use a U.S. address too and have a bunch of stuff waiting to pick up.

Thanks for the update, good to know on Summit.

For Rock Auto try the shipping quote to Canada. I did an order about a month ago and shipping to Canada was only $5 more then what it was in the U,.S. A no brainer to go that way. But I tried it on another order and it was a lot more so I guess it depends on the warehouse it's coming from.
