If the order isn't right or if there is warranty issue it is solved very easily. Pick up the phone, dial the number of the vendor and tell them the problem. They mail out the replacement or correct order no extra shipping to you. If they want you to return the incorrect order or defective product they pay the shipping. Sometimes they don't even bother asking you to return the products. I have never had an issue ever with this. I have ordered from Autopia Store, Autogeek, CMA, PAC, PakShak, and some others. A few times I have had a defective product or incorrect order and it was handled with no problem at all.
I am not saying to not order from Canada and give your business to the U.S. I am saying don't eliminate U.S. sources because you think it's more expensive or a hassle.
As for being able to buy the Megs products that you mentioned in a local store, what does that have to do with what I was talking about? If you can buy local and save the shipping and eliminate the wait than great do so. I try to buy as much as I can local. But if I can't find it here I have no problem buying online from U.S. vendors.
