The real killer is shipping costs. For example I can have a model kit shipped from anywhere in the world to Detroit for around $10. To have that exact same thing shipped to Windsor (directly across the river from Detroit) the shipping will start at about $50 and go up from there. That does not even include and Canadian taxes, duties or fees but is just shipping. Having something shipped from the US is the worst of all with charges up to $100. In this age of online purchases these charges can be a killer for a project.
