Thanks.
The info is appreciated.
More than once i got some brokerage charge as it came across the border and twice at least that charge was worth more than the damn item.
e.g. some small box of say a computer part that was $22 and the brokerage fee was $25 (from UPS)
I somehow recall that my last purchase with Monoprice was very positive, but i just couldn't recall if there was an extra fee.
I'll give it a go and nab that HDMI cable today because as you know, it "clearly" provides a better picture than component vid cables.
