Yes, but that fee was already baked into the Shipping & Handling you were
paying when the prices were in US$. That's what I'm trying to point out.
All fees (taxes and brokerage) were already being paid when the prices
were in US$. None of that has changed now that the prices are in Cdn$.
But Jake indicated that these fees were somehow part of the reason for
inconsistent price ratios between US$ and Cdn$, but I'm contesting that
can't be true since we were already paying for them. Doesn't really
matter anyhow I guess, since they'll charge whatever they like in any
currency. Some prices have gotten better (like 10152), so it's still
not a bad situation.
