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
