This should help you greatly -

Montana Shipping

Have the stuff shipped to Sweetgrass, drive across, pick up our goods, pay your duty/tax and come home.

I meet some guys at SEMA last year that wanted to open up a diesel performance shop up there, they had the market and gave it a shot I started making them quotes for product and then by the time they shipped almost 6 times what we pay state to state here they found out real quick that they could not afford it because that $180.00 exhaust was costing them $385.00 to there door then they have to mark it up and so on, for that price the guy could buy it him self so now they only do installs and are doing great!

if its small stuff send it USPS thats the way to go i have heard if its big send it fedex with MADE IN USA all over the box
