With 90% of what they sell being made in the USA, you should not have Duties/Customs Fees. if you did, either UPS screwed you, or Flexpvc did not send documents stating that the product is made in North America.

Shipping on the otherhand, YEs that wil be high.

They only ship UPS for Canadian orders so you get hit with the high shipping charges and then the 50+ dollar brokerage fee from UPS as well.

Last time I ordered it was several hundreds of dollars in fittings so it made sense to order from them.

I'm currently looking for a few oddball manifolds and wyes for my 200 gallon build, and have been directed towards a few spa and pool companies up here. Prices are a bit higher and it doesn't seem like one company has as diverse a selection as flexpvc but even placing orders from two companies I will still come out ahead in the end.

Fabco Plastics in Edmonton will probably have it!

I ordered off of them in the past and they shipped via USPS by request; I was in no hurry.

UPS sucks all around.

Yup, always request USPS. I made a mistake of not specifying that before and got surprised with a nice $45 Customs surcharge.

I ordered from them in December, requested shipping by US Postal Service, shipping was $32.33 on a $100 order, I would order from them again.
