Hi, is there a place in canada where we can order E3 sparks plugs? I tried to find a place to buy or order them but I can't. I see a lot of place in US to order them but I will be screwed up with delivery and customs fees.

The Canadian automotive parts market really sucks. We don't have access to US parts.

For the last few years, I ordered parts directly from the US. My advice for you is to try to find a Canadian distributor, but if you can't, find one in the US that can ship with the United States Postal Service (USPS). USPS will hand over the package to Canada Post, who will represent you at customs for free (no brokerage fee). Of course you will pay taxes on the item, but that will be all (thanks to the Free Trade Agreement, if it was built in America, then you only pay federal and provincial taxes). If, on the other hand, you order via UPS or FedEx, they will charge you money to represent you at customs, and then charge you customs on top of that. THEY WILL SCREW YOU! I speak from experience here...

Good luck!
