![]() BRS is really only a viable option if you're buying stuff you can't find where you are. 15% flat rate more than covers what you'd save by ordering in bulk from them. For high ticket items like lighting, etc. it just doesn't make any sense. Order a Vertex 260 and that $2259 fixture becomes almost $2600... ($2400 at J&L even though they won't have it in stock)

![]() Have to add here...
Ordered a small order of 2 True Union check valves, and 4 1" uniseals on Friday March 14th. UPS Tracking info says that it FINALLY left Minnesota yesterday (03/27/2014). It arrived today in Seattle Washington (03/28/2014)....Highly doubt I will see this any time soon. Hasn't even cleared customs after 2 weeks!!! Order was $45.54, Shipping was $23.97 and BRS tax was $7.29 = $76.80 This is my first time ordering from BRS... EXTREMELY dissapointed to pay that much and not have a package after two weeks. Why does it not even leave where BRS is located for 13 days? Just silly. If they didn't have everything that no one else has I would never order from them again. But until someone in Canada steps up their game, we're all stuck.

However UPS will certainly try to bend you over whenever they can. I would never order from the US if the retail scene in Canada had the same products available and weren't charging as much of a premium for the products (beyond exchange rates and a bit extra for shipping costs).

![]() I know for some this might be a little far, but the orders can be picked up in US.
I go there every two weeks shopping and pick up BRS orders at my mailbox... best thing ever.

![]() I priced a bunch of stuff through BRS and by the time I paid all the fees it was gonna cost more than here... Backwards eh... and so I just cancelled my order... What a waist of time it all was...
