Do you recommend the 38-2293-TN from LMC? Or should I look at a different supplier? It's for a mid-80's tilt seat.
Is shipping actually that expensive to CA or are they surcharging you? If that's the case, see if you can just provide them a shipping label for the stuff.

There was someone else that I know, is running into that same issue. He lives in Canada and the shipping was crazy.

That's crazy. No real good reason for it other than "they can." I guess if you're somewhat close to the border and know someone in the US, maybe have it shipped to them....

Well that is an option. I did offer my friend that. That he could have the stuff shipped to me, and then I would ship them to Canada. I’ve already sent him a couple of packages.

Sure, you can be my friend. I’ll do that for you. It will probably save you at least $100. When I get things from USA1, the shipping average is about $25-$30. Then whatever it would be for me to ship to you. $50 at the most maybe.

I've looked into those options before but since I'm 350 miles north of the border it doesn't work when you factor in fuel to pick it up.

Thanks for the input from both of you. I'm still considering rolling the dice with LMC but I'll give it some more thought.
