That makes no sence You buy on line right then you get them shiped to you VIA **** ups you pay your duty crap fees then you open the box then the cow that delivered them to you has left and you find out that your drivers are all bent or smashed because they played foot ball with your shipment..

Hello Jason,
You might try Rolph Audio:
http://www.audiocomponents.nl
Problem is: it's a netherland based store and they only sell Vifa & ScanSpeak.
BUT, they sell the CHEAPEST Vifa & SS drivers in the whole world! No kidding man! I search all vifa & SS distributors in DST distributor list and I found that this Rolph Audio sells the cheapest driver. You also get additional discount if you order > 10 drivers.
They quote their driver in Euro, but if you convert it to US$ (1 euro = 0.87 US$), it's a very low price compare to what partsexpress sell. Also their shipping rate for non europe country:
< 5 kg: Euro 30
5 - 10 kg: Euro 51
10-20 kg: Euro 108
Bank & handling cost: Euro 15
well, not so expensive....
I live in Indonesia, and have the same problem as you do. The huge duty tax was inevitable, so I arrange a little trick to deal with it. I found a shipping forwarder in Singapore (in my case) that can ship electronic goodies to my country (Indonesia) WITHOUT having to pay for import tax. So, I send my goods to my forwarder first ( in singapore), and then the forwarder will sent the goods directly to me. In your case, you should find a forwarder that can sent your goodies without paying the import tax.
Good luck!

For anybody in Eastern Canada I can recommend: http://zalytron.com/. I've been buying drivers from them for last 14 years and never had a reason to complain. Although they are located in Long Island, NY I found that their prices are much better than that of Canadian distributors, not talking abut the selection.
I live in Alberta and have bought drivers from www.speakercomponents.ca
It is great to have a place to deal with in Canada.
I have a buddy who bought a couple tweeters from them he had no problem, and he lives in Bedford, Nova Scotia.
It has to be the best place in Canada I think.
