Online vs brick and mortar is what you normally hear discussed here. Just goes to show that business is tough regardless of the business model.

I am not surprised, their S&H charges especially to Canada were ridiculously high.
I though the amount quoted was in error so I contacted them and rates quoted were correct.
I think that they commited themselves to only using UPS at a higher than norm rate and not other delivery services.
Think kick back, but if sales are slow you end up losing money.
Conversely shipping and handling in the US was very reasonable, especially if you won several bids. They would hold all items for a week to bundle them together, and added very little when extra items were included in the shipment.
