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.

And when UPS gets to your door they are gonna ding you with a $25 brokerage fee.

UPS bends Canadians over and you know what...

Actually BRS pays the brokerage fee up front for you but they charge a fee of 15% on every purchase.

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...
