while I wait for the new JVC deck:

elimanated vibration noise in rear tail light housing by adding foam pads behind it also the liscence plate got the same treatment

the aura bass shakers needed to have the wiring played with so the two front seats were seperate, previously I had the seats wired together and the backs wired together now the seats are seperate left and right sides

the passenger seat aura bass shakers are on a switch so the passenger has the option to use them or not, this was sugested by somebody and it wasn't that hard to wire in, only $10 worth of parts from Parts Source and some blood sweat and tears, well maybe not so much the tears but you get the idea

who's delivering? usually they try twice and then leave a tag telling you where to pick it up. Brokerage fees, taxes, and any service charge should be fairly low depending on who it was shipped with. The cheapest is Canada Post. UPS, Fedex etc. are higher.

I fixed the problem by going to the UPS distribution center here in Edmonton. I should be able to pick up the package from there tomorrow. The company I ordered it from charged me $100 for customs duties and now there is an aditional $75 to pay for brokerage fee's. I'm not surprised as I have ordered stuff from the states and had to pay a fee to the customs people before.

depending on what you buy and more specifically, where it is manufactured, you may have to pay duty. If the item is manufactured in the U.S, there's no duty but you usually have to pay pst/gst and the brokerage fees. That's why you should always use Canada Post/US post as their brokerage fees are a flat rate of 5.00 cdn. Unfortunately, many companies in the states don't ship via USPS, so you have to look around for ones that do ship that way and insist on it. Ebay has many that will.
