lololol. 4 Gauge at the lengths we are talking about, is more than enough for Big 3, especially on most stock alts around 100 amps. 1/0 of the KLMX is enough to carry 200+A.

For welding wire being pretty much twice as much, it doesnt work twice as well. There is not a huge difference.

For the same price as regular copper wire, you can have dual runs of positive/negative.

you would need 2 runs of knuconcepts 1/0 awg to equal 1 run of real copper cable so are you really saving money??

They get around duty and tax, you never pay its a great place.

Actually nobody gets around anything.

They pay the duty and taxes and that gets passed on to you.

No, you send as a commercial sample, and customs doesnt touch under $50 anyways, which you just mark it as.

Customs doesn't have any fees for items less than $20.

The commercial sample "trick" isn't guaranteed.

In the words of the customs douche I was arguing with "We simply don't have the man power to check everything coming in, so if you got some packages that you didn't pay duties/taxes on then consider yourself lucky"

Bottom line is you pay the taxes through Knukonceptz.

From their website

"Taxes still must be paid; KnuKonceptz collect's them from you at the time of your purchase. Your order total before shipping will be charged for Goods and Service Tax (GST) of 7%. This amount is collected and paid to Canada Revenue Agency upon importing your order. That's it, no COD charges, and no extra handling charges…just the GST on your shippable items."

Think you're avoiding duties? Wrong!

"In order to offer this service, we must consolidate orders to ship together twice a week. This keeps brokerage fees down for all our Canada customers. Orders ship every Tuesday and Friday. As volume increases we may add a third shipping day. All orders are packed just like any other, but are processed by UPS as a group. By importing all orders at one time, processing fees are greatly reduced and the discount is passed on to our customers."

I use USPS through them when I ship, and I dont pay any. You may be different if you allow them to ship UPS, but I do not accept UPS packages. You must think you have an answer for everything don't you? Whatever I guess i've gotten lucky with over 7 years of buying from the states. :-S

Besides, sending as value of $1 will work also. How is wire going to get damaged while being sent? Your just being difficult. I get your point you can give up.
