Don't get me wrong, I've been ripped off quite a few times myself by UPS. The trouble for me is that USPS or Canada post won't handle anything over three feet in length. Found a company in Buffalo NY that sells extrusions that are close to the Tamiya diamentions for truck frames but they won't ship by mail! Too bad. So I went to the UPS site.
,http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shi...clearance.html and it shows the current rates. As four pcs four foot long are only $25.00 I figure that the fee will $7.00 and worth a try. Who knows what may happen but it's worth a shot.
