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.

My shipping charges eat up all my savings last time, the prices were very good but the shipping was terrible. It was cheaper for me to go and buy it at a lfs and not have to wait for it to arrive by ups. My 0.02
