I was in on the last group order organized out of Calgary. The discount on gate valves, TU ball valves, and BRS pumps and chemicals etc made it worthwhile.
I have a shipping address with Security Mail Services in Blaine, so free shipping applied to Blaine. I co-ordinate a trip thru the city with a midweek border crossing (no wait times), and pick it up.
I do that a couple times per year for various purchases. Shipping and brokerage charges to Canada can eat up any savings, and then some.
