This won't likley matter when their boxes come with their name plastered all over it. Something that [ Store X ] doesn't do. X seems to ship with a plain box and a personal name, everytime I dealt with them.
I do find their prices a little high, and then some on some items. But, I had two PoL shipped this year. And the shipping once your broke it down with everything in the PoL seemed fair to me. The PoL option is the main reason I use them. Makes more economical for me over the long term.
I've just recently spent some time with Ebay and the shipping cost on there doesn't seem much better if your buying a handful of items over a short term. Unless you can get them all from one seller.
As to the customs / Brokerage fee there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Neither of my PoLs this year got tagged. Just the HST, nothing else.
Edit:
My 2 PoLs came via UPS.. I think I forgot to mention that. And I removed the name of the BBTS other big US competitor. I'm sure we all know who they are. I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
