Even though I told them I have a US bank account and VISA card, and a relative with a US address, they chose to ignore my PMs on trying to accommodate them to do business. Whatever, small fry. Stillen (Josh) and Forged Performance (Ryan) are among two that are Canadian friendly and have been great to deal with.

PS...I'd be wary of Zat_Zuma...he never shares what he's up to for his car, but he wants the dirt on what everyone else is doing.
+1 on Josh @ Stillen. NO problem what-so-ever from dealing with him.

However, I would suggest the following to vendors who doesn't take orders from Canadians because increase of frauds (I do these also with some of my internet businesses too)

- Ask for a photocopy (scanned or picture or whatever) of the front and back of a Driver's License, and the Credit card itself. (IIRC Josh @ Stillen asked me for this too, not a big problem for me)

- Accept money order, bank transfer, bank draft, etc. (Come on, you get your money first already, guaranteed not a scam)

Ignoring potential customers is bad for YOUR business. It ruins your reputation therefore lowers your potential profit. Don't judge ALL Canadians are frauds just because of a couple fraud transactions, which you may not have taken the necessary precautions on.

Just my 2 cents. Don't flame/bash plz.
