This is an FYI post for fellow Canadian readers.

Buying parts from US retailers and shipping them to Canada is notoriously difficult, and often over-priced, especially if those retailers ship with UPS or a courier company, and not USPS.

UPS charges, as many Canadians are likely familiar with, frustratingly excessive and dubious 'fees' for crossing the border. This isn't just regular sales tax at the border, these are additional "customs and brokerage" fees and can amount to 50% of the price paid for the original item. This often reduces the worth of any 'deal' found stateside to negligible, or even an amount that is in excess of the local/domestic price.

The only reasonable alternative, then, is to find a retailer willing to ship USPS. If your package is taxed at the border, you are assessed a flat additional $8.00 customs processing fee, and that's it. However, finding such a retailer, especially for large and unwieldy parts like rear quarter patch panels is about as rare as rocking horse poop.

As it happens, I have found a source for rocking horse poop, as it were, after a lengthy scour of the Internet. The source for them is actually .... eBay. Well, in a sense. It is the eBay online store for Mill Supply Inc., a major online retailer of aftermarket patch panels and body parts. The price, shipped USPS, for both rear quarter sides for a 92-95 Civic hatchback was $113.50. This price beats every other retailer both local and online by a long-shot. (Local body shop price was more than that PER SIDE.) Patch panels are made by Klokkerholm (Danish steel co.) so I predict they will be of decent quality. They are the same panel sold by fixmyrust.com, which would otherwise be a decent option, but do not offer a shipping method other than UPS, which would cost ~$72 in shipping alone, plus all the untold millions in border fees.

Good luck with your repairs!
