I've been away for the past week and double checked the email from BRS, ordering is open until the 9th. I just placed mine. Cheers

I agree. I just signed on this site, and need an order sent. Any chance of that?

it really depends on what you are purchasing i research every item im interested in and actually have saved a few bucks for example my lfs sells koralia 1050's for 69.00 each. through brs they where 42.00 ish so i bought 2 and with shippingand other items all said and done i saved myself 40 bucks. but yet im in need of a return pump and with ome places with free shipping is cheaper to get within canada.

brs pays the duties and taxes so you dont get an extra customs bill which helps too. but you have to be creative. we have to pay taxes here too so that doesnt bother me. and if you can use brs named products they are much cheaper in the group buys. all in all research prices and you can save..this is what ive found with these two orders thus far ive been apart of

There were definitely savings on what I bought, but over $30 for shipping and $30+ in taxes, $179 in product. I'm not bashing, I was just a bit surprised. I'm not an online shopper so it's all a bit new...
