Maybe not OEM style or fitment, but the prices are lower.
We're in Canada, so we only have limited access to the Amazon vendors you do. Most wont ship to Canada. Even where we can still order from them, the shipping costs to Canada are very high. It can easily double the price or more by the time you include shipping and exchange rates.

That said, I've used CrossBorderPickups.ca a few times now when buying goods from the US, and it's worked out very well. The package is shipped to a US address, so you can take advantage of the typical free shipping within the US. CBP will then bring it into Canada and you pick it up from their Mississauga or Markham locations (obviously one of those locations has to be convenient for you). They charge a relatively small fee by weight for the service. For example, a 30lb package costs $15. They also collect the tax. It's far, far cheaper than shipping by UPS or FedEx, where you not only pay a very high cost for shipping, but then get hit with brokerage fees on top of that.

In any case, when buying from the US, there's always the risk that you won't be happy with the product, in which case shipping back can be very costly. So keep that in mind if buying cheap body parts that may not fit well.
