you should check again. cost has always been available to me as a builder and on 90% of things its cheaper even including shipping and brokerage fees. perhaps you ought to price out spark plugs nowadays as mazda canada has more than doubled the price on most maintenance items in the last 3 months. Yet they remain the same price down south.

This all depends on if you have or know people who can get you a good discount from the dealer. I always buy parts from teh dealer at great prices.. You'd be surprised

I recently checked with malloy and he couldn't touch my prices especially on 3mm apex springs which I buy a lot of. The difference was over 0.30 cents ea USD before shipping!! Adds up when you want to buy 400 of them. I bet a lot of my prices are better.
