Does anyone know of any Canadian vendors that may have SPEC clutches? Im looking Canadian because I dont want to pay BS brokerage fees and dont have the time to clear customs myself(to avoid the brokerage charges).

Yea, Ive heard USPS may take a little longer, but their fees are a lot more reasonable. Im starting to think with just the tax and exchange I may be better off just getting it locally. I was quoted $740 from a place here in Wpg, and around $580 plus shipping($60-80) from an american vendor.

I had 3 options;
1) Order it straight from the states to here. With the exchange and shipping it would have cost just a tad over $800 canadian for it(that was without the brokerage as well).
2) Have it send to a very good friend of mine that moved to orlando and just get him to send it as a 'used gift'. When all was said and done, and provided I didnt get caught with the 'gift' idea it would have cost a little over $700 canadian. (I imagine sending it to menkes would be very similar in price, until you add the gas etc.).
3) The last option was getting it thru one of the 2 SPEC dealers in the city. The first one just seems to be some dude that sells parts or something?.. I called the number, and did a street view of the address and it came back to a house, not business. So I called Phil at Fast Toys and ordered it thru him. Cost me $835.
