thanks, here is the news posting: http://www.misumiusa.com/News/news_item.aspx?id=3756
There is also a 30% credit promo, but no clue if it applies to canada: http://www.misumiusa.com/9PRMofficialrules.aspxHow to take advantage of this offer: The customer should specify “Ship prepay and add” for their shipments via UPS ground, next day or second day air. Please note this offer does not apply when the customer ships collect or third party bill.
but, they wouldn't tell me what shipping cost via UPS ground would be (I stopped when it asked for a CC number). Is it reasonable?
You can go to the UPS site and plug in the origin and destination points to find out the approximate charges, bases on estimated weight and size.
I usually pay by CC for my orders.
I haven't found them too unreasonable for freight.

They have a great catalog and selection but their online shopping
is an exercise in frustration. You can never get a price without
e-mailing or calling them. Thats like making a 350 lb. person run
200 meters hurdle.
A couple of points.
Nice incentive that it is now free, although the $5.95 that is was before was already great. Now they are on par with McMaster.
Japr - you can't go by the UPS shipping price for Canada freight. This system works by them sending Canadian orders to the border/broker by the truckload and having the whole load brokered across. Then they break it down and ship the individual package.
If you need shipping priced you have to submit your order as a RFQ. They usually get back fairly quickly.
