They have confirmed that it is the tracking that is the expensive bit but I cannot justify $30.00 for 2 trade badges so unfortunately cannot proceed.

Maybe one of the guys from the Toronto area will volunteer to buy them in store, and then mail them to you for a couple bucks postage. Mind you, depending on where they are in Toronto, it could be $15 in parking to go to the store.
Edit: Had a look and it appears to be about a km from the 401, which has half the population of Canada drive along each day.

Hi Neil

Sorry but I'm no where near or I'd get them for you.

What trade badges are they?

regards
Darrell

And in Toronto that km would take 45 minutes to an hour...on a good day.

Why so many Canadians choose to live under those crowded conditions has always puzzled me.

They're also the ones that gave us (and incredibly still support) the destructive Liberals and Trudeau which shows there is something seriously wrong in their heads.

I have a solution. Just park your car on the shoulder of the 401 and walk the 1 km to the store. That should take less than 10 minutes.

Have you seen that neighbourhood??? That, plus with the Toronto tow truck turf war problem your parked car would be scooped and in a chain link compound in 15 seconds flat. Ransom payola and tow would set you back $750 to a grand. There's a reason people don't like Toronto.

Around here I have seen vehicles parked in the ditch in the winter for several months. You just need to put the yellow tape around them. Another trick used by Manitobans is to put their four-way flashers on......that always buys 2 to 3 hours in a no parking zone.

I'm a kiwi. I bought one set of shims (guess 5 grams) and a 2nd / 3rd selector fork (very small and light) from Village Jeep. Postage EU 69+. You guys get it easy.

Unfortunately, stores in Toronto may not be open yet due to lockdown. Good idea for when after the lockdown is lifted.
