That's actually a good point for another reason. Reason being - save your money on brokerage fees. I once ordered box of 6 plastic, disposable MAG MP7 mags from Evike. Needed it to have my STG hicaps to be converted to midcaps. Nobody else had those MAG packages in stock at the time. I ordered hicaps from Tiger111 or whatever it is and MP7 mags from Evike. As most of us know Evike only uses UPS to ship to Canada. Not only STG mags came in first but I also ended up paying tons of money in brokerage fees for package from states. Package crossed border no problem at one of their points (brokerage fees applied), than it crossed back to US again, got moved further East and crossed Canadian border once again in Windsor (brokerage fees applied again!!!). Imagine how much those mags ended up costing me...
