Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Yeah Marco sucks for shipping costs. So does Bay Area Amusements, they are just as bad or worse then Marco for international shipping. It's too bad to because they have everything.
Marco is 10 times worse than BAA. Marco charges customs, delivery, TP fees for this TP company, all kinds of crap, it usually totals for us about another 50% of the cost of what we ordered.
Answer? If you can only get there, order it through Playdium, they have a slight markup from Marco's price, and the delivery to you within Canada is very little.
HINT - LSOG for shipping to Canada is OUTSTANDING! Curly gets a lot of rare stuff too, and I'm always surprised how much of what I need he has. Extremely large and pricey orders have very low shipping to us, and how he does it, I have never been dinged once for HST when it arrives.
The only draw back is despite emailing him to confirm his stock, given this issue in the past prior to ordering, every order I put through always inevitably comes with a "when didn't end up having this part in stock, here's your refund".
