*NemeGuero* · 02-02-2009, 09:22 PM

So... if one were to ship some wheels from pasadena to Canada... how would one go about this as cheaply as possible?

What freighters can people recommend for cross border shit?
CHEAP

probably UPS ground or something. We use UPS to Canada. Very reliable service.

Ninjabread · 02-02-2009, 09:37 PM

eesh

cheap? dunno

my wheels cost around 55$ USD a box when i got them shipped from mid-east.

cali to which part of canada though? east coast for sure 60-70 a wheel box.

maybe if you just made it all fit one huge box.. might be over the limit though.

USPS is more upfront, but saves you because they dont rape the other guy with customs charges, etc etc.

UPS is cheap, BUT the guy will pay 20-30% tax (no joke) on those items.

*Sonic Motor* · 02-02-2009, 09:47 PM

not if you declare the item as gift and under $15 usd/per package

I've dealt with many angry canadian customer in my time.

drftwerks · 02-02-2009, 09:53 PM

shouldnt have done the sale, i will never sell anything to them again not worth the hassle, see if you can send to a relative or a friend that is near the border for them.

*NemeGuero* · 02-02-2009, 10:36 PM

Alberta.

and yeah.. I know.

articdragon192 · 02-02-2009, 11:01 PM

For small packages, UPS. For bigger packages, hit up BAX Global.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 02-03-2009, 07:58 AM

It cost me $240 to ship wheels with tires to Canada the last time around.

...And that was with my brother's 75% off discount.

Stupid Fed Ex.

ZilviaKid · 02-03-2009, 08:12 AM

hire a drug runner. im sure itll cost you less in the end. lmao

Slammed180 · 02-03-2009, 08:52 PM

USPS.
UPS can suck my left nut. Never have I gotten a package that they haven't charged me $35+ on "brokerage" charges.
USPS has always been pretty quick, and no bullshit charges afterwards.

army240 · 02-04-2009, 02:26 PM

I live in Canada(quebec city), and the best way to ship stuff, is either to send it as a warranty return, or 15usd per package as a gift...

If you're using UPS ground, we have the normal 7% taxes, the duty taxes, AND the brokerage fee(that is soooooooo crazy)...

For 2 bride brix II seats + 2 bracket coming from USA(about 2300 $CAD) it costed me around 700$USD just for the taxes and fee... NOT including the shipping price...

The best way, i'd say use UPS Expedited... yes, it's more expensive, but because it's air shipped, we don't pay for the brokerage fee... I use it a lot now. you only pay the 7% taxes. And you receive your item in 2 buisness days.

UPS is the safest way to ship stuff...
USPS is cheaper, but sometimes, it get lost by Canada postal service... seen that often...

Anyway, i hope it will help you guys!

*NemeGuero* · 02-04-2009, 02:39 PM

SlideWell · 02-04-2009, 06:33 PM

ask them if they are going to the Annual NWN Golden Gardens meet. i might be able to help you out if they are. you could ship the wheels to the shop here and ill put em in my car and see em at the meet if they are there. it could work. but yeah, thought id throw that out there.
shipping would be to :
Position 1 Racecraft
5400 Constance Dr. SW
Port Orchard, WA 98367

Dousan_PG · 02-04-2009, 06:38 PM

fuck canada
i rarely sell out of state
its just not worth the work
tell denise to try again.

blitzkrgCT9A · 02-04-2009, 06:42 PM

use USPS. Its much cheaper than FedEx or UPS.

steve_o1989 · 02-04-2009, 08:28 PM

As a Canadian, I buy lost of my parts from the states. I prefer USPS because they don't rape you with fees. For wheels though they would probably get a little expensive. No matter how you look at it, it is going to be expensive. There is no "cheap" way to do it. Unless you hire a team of mules to run them, paying them pennies a day...

Can one of you guys complaining that it is such a hassle to ship to Canada explain why for me? I ship to the U.S., which would require the same stuff and it isn't a big deal. I don't get why so many people make a big deal of it. Drop it off at UPS like any other package. After that anything that happens is out of your control.

kyoru · 02-04-2009, 08:48 PM

USPS is the shit, no bs charges

heiyuu · 02-04-2009, 10:42 PM

Well hopefully the guy has a UPS port in his city. If he does he can save the brokerage fee by declaring the taxes and duties himself.

Teknolust72 · 02-05-2009, 12:07 AM

USPS always has cheap rates for Canada

ZX88 · 02-05-2009, 03:01 PM
