Default Ordering Parts Online from outside of Canada

Hopefully this question doesnt offend:

I am looking to purchase some gear from hobbyking.com. I am wondering if any other fellow canadians have ordered sucessfully from the site?

A few things I am curious about:

How long did it take to recieve the order? The items I want to order will come from the main warehouse in HK.

How much was duty/brokerage fees?

I am scared to order anything, then be held hostage for extra fees from the gubment or UPS/Perolator/Fedex, especially if the fees are more than the cost of the gear I would like to purchase.

I have ordered from the company before, when I was living in the US. It was pretty easy an not extra fees.

Thanks.
