For me it seems that every other package to or from Canada is opened
and arrives with something missing or is completely lost.

So I no longer order anything form Canada. (or China).

I've had to let a lot of what looked like good deals go as a result.

A company like MSC is relatively close to me, so that makes things a
lot easier and cheaper. (I hope to be picking up a rotary table,
dividing plates, and tailstock in a couple days).
