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.

Whoops - I thought you were in southern alberta...

hahaha yeah its only about 9-10 hours to the border from here lol

Sorry dont have any other real options for you.


Shipping to northern Canada is a real crap show....

Yea, I know. It's like you're in a whole different country or something!:w2:

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

^ That is correct as far as I know. ^



Avoid UPS like the plague !!

:argh: who did I p!ss off now ordered parts from a vendor on here and that was three weeks ago I think (do not do time well) I think the border is keeping it :argh:

What did you order?

fuel pressure gauge and drawstraw

got some good news to day sounds like my stuff has cleared customs:jump:

we got it the order today:jump: thanks vulcan performance

If you can send the little stuff usps and it help save on taxes and duties and what not. You can also ship to canda using purolater shipping which seems to be quite resonable. At least I think it is because it calculates the taxes and duties at the same time as the shipping

thanks alot man live and learn

Vulcan Performance will ship USPS - at least they used to

There is a certain dimension and wieght limit for shipping usps. I have sent cat and dpf delete pipes usps to canada before. There is a 70pound weight limit as well as dimension restrictions

yeah they offered to send it ups but as soon as ups sends it across the border sometimes thier good the next time border crossing charge is more than the parts so I got scared off and they are getting a bad rap for loosing stuff up here it is now costing a guy I know the first couple races because they lost his turbos for the last couple months and still can't find them and giving him the run around for the insurance

I think you are getting confused between UPS and USPS...

UPS = United Parcel Service

USPS = United States Postal Service

There is a big difference between the two. USPS doesnt ding you for customs brokerage like UPS does - but you still may have to pay GST and possibly a little duty depending on the total cost

FYI, there are also suppliers inside Canada.

Re: border cross shipping
 

Ya we try to ship USPS to Canada when we can.

still waiting on some stuff coming USPS
let me know if know of any supplyers in canada that will help

Depends on what you are looking for....

We have a large exhaust company that we can ship exhaust systems and tuners from in Canada. We can also ship from BD Diesel which is also in Canada.
