I ordered parts from Sunset last Thursday and paid with my Canadian visa card, no problem at all. They must have changed their policy over the week-end.

Send an email with the list of parts and they will respond with prices.

Try phoning them. If that doesn't work you could use Pelican Parts.

Vertex doesn't have the item? I order from them with my Canadian Visa card, and have had the items delivered to both Canada and US addresses without a hitch.

Next time you're in the U.S., stop off at a drug store or convenience store and buy a pre-paid VISA for $5. You can then load the card with the cashier using your CDN Visa card in any amount you wish to.

Once you're back home and on your computer, log on and follow the instructions to activate the pre-paid card. It's as simple as that and no U.S. address is required.

I just did an order, they don't even ship to Canada. Have to use Bongo. Which gives them a US address to ship to, then Bongo forwards it.

Arh, what a pain. Hopefully it works out for me.
