Could you elaborate on what you had to pay? Mostly I avoided them because they ship UPS and UPS loooooveesss money.
Have you actually "tried" instead of guessing. I used fedex.

Cost of order 390usd -> paid with visa ->cost 430$ with delivery and brokerage (28$ I think total for brokerage AND shipping)
38$cdn in duties and border fee

Total cdn was 470ish

At bikeroom the one part I got would have been 399$ + 120ish for misc other parts. + 10$ for shipping.
