Looking for a vendor with lowest shipping prices to Canada

I am tired of getting hosed on shipping to Canada and seeing prices double or triple when I mention my postal code

Do we have any vendors who deal a lot with Canadians? Do we have any Canadian customers here who have suggestions for me?

I am interested in some eibach lowering springs (just the sports)

would also be interested in white line shifter bushings and or a nice spoiler (something like 5axis, trd, etc.) if the person could bundle those together.


I have seen great group buys prices get demolished because I live in Canada. It really hurts my soul.

Example. I checked out some Enkei wheels on Tire Rack today, with rims and tires this is all of the extras I had slapped on there

Shipping Total: $423.38
Excise Tax: $0.00
GST: $93.95
PST: $114.32
(can't escape these)
Duty: $95.94
Provincial Tire Fee: $16.00
Brokerage Fee: $40.00

$575.33 (not including taxes) to ship the rims and tires here. that is the price of my tires!!!

I have a Pro-Kit in stock and a Stillen rear lip spoiler. It cost me $82 to ship a Perrin oil cooler kit though just for reference.

You're only 2-3 hours from the border aren't you? (Haven't driven in southern sask in years so just guessing) maybe try looking for a border shipping company to mail it to then hop down and pick it up yourself?

There's a few down in Montana that is nice and easy for Alberta folks to use, I'm hoping there is something similar at your closest border crossing?

Yeah for large objects sending it to the border would probably be your best bet. Smaller things like shifter bushings and such would not be very expensive to send USPS though.

Don't forget about duties and brokerage. Shipping with USPS usually saves quite a bit of money.

See Ash @genometuning regarding the springs

He alway's hooked me up with great shipping rates and other incentives. PM him for more details...

You and I are neighbors, so shipping will be identical

PM me regarding the incentives

Here's a link to what I think your looking for ?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16526

Don't ask me why, but I think I may have three different shifter bushings on hand, Perrin, Kartboy and White line me thinks, so I might be able to hook you up in that department

Let me take a look and get back to you...

Yeah brokerage charges are a deal killer most times, but usually it's too late cuz you don't know what the charges are until it arrives at your door. You wait days and sometimes weeks for a package to arrive, your sure as hell not gonna refuse it when it finally arrives. That's where Canadian Customs has us by the nardz and brokerage charges can be so random sometimes.
I find UPS is the worst for these charges, so stick with others like Fedex or USPS whenever possible

Check out this place in BC, they seem to have competitive pricing once you factor in shipping cross border:

http://www.dalesmotorsport.com/

They quoted me around $425 to my door for RCE yellows back when the springs were selling for $350 everywhere.

JRP is a canadian vendor located in mississauga, should have much better shipping rates than going across the border.
