Thing with the shipping, is I don't have any control over the price. I charge what Canada Post tells me to charge. Problem with that is, anything over 1kg (approx. 2.2lbs) automatically gets bumped up to Expedited US shipping, as opposed to the cheaper Surface or Air shipping. And the Mustang kit alone is about 1.3kg or so, just the kit alone, nevermind the box and packing material it would be shipped with.
You have to be careful with some of these companies when it comes to shipping. Yeah they can offer you a good deal on shipping, but how is your kit, or what you are buying being shipped? If they just wrap the kit in brown paper and stick a label on it with your address....as much as mail gets banged around, the box isn't likely going to stand up to much on its way to you.
When I ship, I expect the product to reach the customer in the same condition I sent it, and thus I take care in my packing. Basically I pack my boxes they way I would like to see boxes coming to me to be packed. Just ask Norm about the crappy packaging he got on his Kinetic EA-6B Prowler he recently got....oh right.....there was no box....just wrapped in brown paper. This is unacceptable to me.
