And your right Customs duties aren't totally random but trying to actually calculate a total isn't easy, I know because I tried. Say you order a product from a US on-line company but the product you're buying was made in Thailand, well now you're not paying duty as though you're buying an American product but rather a Thai product shipped from America. Its confusing as shit, I placed an order from Muaythaistuff.com, which I still haven't recieved, and I actually had to phone the Canada Border Services Agency to try and figure out what it was going to cost me in duty before I ordered....it a pain in the ass.
I priced out a pair of CSI safety training gloves from a US on-line supplier with shipping and duties and compared them to the same gloves on RDFC.tv and the difference was $25 CDN for a pair of gloves priced at $59.99 US..plus they ship faster from within Canada.
As for your last point...I agree, I got exceptional service but I only considered ordering from RDFC.tv because I had read 2 other regular members posts about the service they got from Red Dragon Fight Company.

Nice find, Smash! Finally a decent Canadian based company. I fuckin' hate having to deal with duty and long assed shipping times. I was convinced for a while that some border guard had it out for me and was holding my stuff for prolonged times just to piss me off.
