If he orders from Pelican Parts, the currency exchange, shipping, duties, and taxes will end up costing him more than if he were to buy from the local dealerships. We can name all the US online parts stores, and none will come out top for him. Add insult to injury, his Cayenne's got the 380mm two-piece brake rotor option where there aren't any aftermarket options for him (they exist, but cost more than original Porsche.)

The rotor he needs are $743.50 USD (original Porsche) or $868.75 (OE - WTF???) Factor in the cheapest shipping they offer to Canada (Vancouver) add an additional $87.25 USD, plus rip off FedEx rape fees, taxes, and what have you...it snow balls from there.

Since ECS Tuning acquired Pelican Parts, I stopped buying from them
