Has anyone got any experience ordering parts from Abra in Montreal?

http://www.abra-electronics.com/products/A000008-Arduino-Y%C3%9AN.html

They list Sparkfun and Adafruit stuff as well.

I notice too there is a $50 minimum order...

Sparkfun's prices aren't bulk but they do hold a good amount of plug and play items and I really don't feel like wasting time on this project. I haven't gotten screwed by imports using Sparkfun. I very much dislike UPS (unless I'm using the corporate account). I have a lot of bad experiences with their ninja deliveries over the last 10 years. They had the balls to hold and charge me for importing 0$ samples (long complicated story). But that's the pain we have to suffer importing parts to Canada.
