    shipping question

    I'm ordering a $45 part off your website and the shipping is $31.55 by Canada Post.
    I'm just curious, doesn't Canada Post have $17 flat rate shipping boxes?
    are you guys not allowed to use those or something?
    hard for me to click the submit order button when the shipping is almost as much as the part I want to order.
    Things either are what they appear to be;
    or they neither are, nor appear to be;
    or they are, and do not appear to be;
    or they are not, and yet appear to be.

    I asked one vendor the exact same question. They told me those are only available for consumers to use, not retailers.

    Generally, small business accounts can actually get *better* rates for shipping, especially when the packages are physically smaller/lighter than the flat rate boxs.

    I have a Small Business Account and the savings are a joke. Lucky to get $1-$2 discount on a shipment.

    Spoken as someone who doesn’t have a small business account, right?

    I guess that's what happens when you live "Way up North"!........

    Just kidding!......

    The discounts for the small business accounts are a joke, like the other fellows have stated.

    Thank the corrupt Trudeau foundation for screwing the average Canadian.......

    Exactly, what an excuse to skim off with excessive shipping costs.
