Yup, I was going to mention about Speed Element too. They told me it's because there has been "an increase in Canadian credit card fraud lately". 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.
