Ordered two SB3 last year. The trick on light items such as a SB3= Expedited service, goes air versus ground, no brokerage fee. So, for $35, it was shipped to my door some 30 hours after I placed my phone call. The only thing I had to pay UPS was GST (no PST in Alberta). I have other examples where I ordered a receiver from a store in NY, 2 days expedite service, $35 no brokerage fee. Never ever use ground service. I got dinged once, $55 clearance fee for a $100 product.
