Bring Ebaybanned + Ehobbyasia to Canada (2 question survey)

You missed my point. I wasn't talking about shipping prices. A single GBB mag will cost $5 or less to ship anywhere in Canada via CP. What my point was, why pay $60 + shipping for a mag from a Canadian source when the same one is available for $30 from an Asian source.

that's very true, this coupled with the shipping prices makes for high prices for us consumers

Most retailers except for a few exceptions that will remain unnamed have decent shipping prices. I always buy from airsoftparts.ca. I use standard shipping and usually get my stuff in a day or 2 due to close proximity. Others tend to seriously gouge on their S&H charges in order to make up for their lower 'sticker' prices and give us the impression their items are cheap. Then you hit the checkout and see you're being charged $40 for shipping a couple of small items that actually cost less than $10 to ship.

Well lets make this discussion a lot easier

I hope

My site will now feature free shipping on all orders and a Quantity discount on your purchase amount, basically the more items you buy the bigger discount you get because shipping costs per item will go down.

An interesting marketing approach.

Having a retailer that I could talk to on the phone/email to place orders for unique/obscure stuff would be greatly beneficial. Can you imagine how hard it is to describe airsoft parts/gear to someone who doesn't speak english well?

I am willing to take a 20% increase in prices for better, faster local service. How many people have had their piston shred/battery explode/dog shit on their optics, days before a big game?

The shipping idea is a good way to promote team orders.
