Re: Buying Heli fuel from US

You can bet that shipping + hazmat fees will make it impractical unless you're buying in bulk. Some clubs get a whole bunch of people together to do a bulk order at the beginning of each season. You buy a few cases up front to get you through the flying season, and often then it's worth it.

Just shipping a gallon at a time isn't worth the effort or money though. Better off just buying from the LHS.

If I lived in "TO", I would go to the Toledo show, buy my 40 - 60 gallons of fuel from the vendors in order to pay for my trip. Here, some fliers go across the line to Washington state to buy their year's supply. However, I support my LHS.
