Tony,
Your missing my point entirely.
I am not saying everything is going to be cheaper, or everything from a given manufacturer will be cheaper. The point I am trying to get across is to check the prices from Canada before you jump in head 1st and order from the USA. It may end up cheaper from USA but check before you place an order.
Kendricks website is down at the moment so I can't show you any examples from there.
