I'll happily buy from US vendors -- but only if they ship via USPS -- otherwise the brokerage fees charged by FedEx and UPS are generally outrageous and ruin whatever you might be saving. In one of my first online purchases I bought a $60 item and the UPS brokerage charge was $55 --- I've been very careful ever since :-) BusDepot ships USPS so no problem there. It's always worth asking. Cheers, Doug
