I notice a price difference for replacement sheet metal parts between AA and Restoration Design. Is there a quality difference or is it expensive to ship to US from Canada? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The only problem I had with restoration design was the American pricing. Living 4 hours away in Ontario, CANADA and getting my credit card bill in American $$$ was quite the upset. I know many are American that the market targets but for our Canadian members it doesn't seam that fair. Especially since I didn't see anything listed on the site about it. I am not trying to bash RD because the parts I received were shipped quick and fit pretty good. The biggest problem was having another $100 after the conversion that showed on the bill. Contact with the company said they wouldn't refund/correct it, only give an instore credit which was pointless at the time because all of my metal was ordered and I had no need or desire for another order with them. I was quite furious.

Anyway thats my .02 cents. It was a couple months ago. Just didn't seam fair when its all about supporting local business and being charged another nations currency for buying and selling when I believe the business is all Canadian.
