On the plus side, Holt prices suddenly seem a little less **** after that don't they?

Nearly everytime I get nailed I get charged PST even though I am in Alberta with no PST. I've had it for clothes, cigars and used car amps....its annoying.

Do you apply for a refund?

I've called and looked into it but written it off as not worth the time. I'd rather have something to complain about.

Once you factor in all the costs, plus the wait time of a few weeks, it's not always worth it. Add to that stuff that doesn't fit well, or looks different in real life than what you thought you were getting based on pictures. With few exceptions, I avoid shopping on the internet now. While we're on the subject, is there any reliable B&S seller here who would be interested as acting as an occasional proxy for those of us north of the border?
