Question Anyone from Canada?

Just curious, as I was looking at the prices of euro style lenses on eBay and the shipping from US seems outrageous!

Any sources in Canada for reasonably price parts?

you can always try the dealer - you have to be careful with items off of eBay, unless it says Bosch or Hella - good chance you are getting offshore garbage.

Thank you SRDiver!

I suppose there would be no harm on checking with a dealer. My only concern there is that my pockets aren't that deep... Then again, if I don't ask I'll never know. I may even get a pleasant surprise.

a lot of times - by the time you pay the shipping, brokerage, duty, tax (pst/gst) and waited 6 weeks, had you gone to the dealer you would have had them in a week and actually paid less for the parts from the stealership.
