Vendor does not ship to Canada...

IDZRVIT · 01-28-2011, 09:58 AM

I don't buy into the excuses US vendors use to not sell to us Canucks. They should just admit that they're too small of a business to do the extra paperwork for customs - and that isn't any big deal either. Fraud? Yeah, we're a bunch of shysters up here in the GWN and our friends to the south wouldn't think of considering credit card fraud!

Just say no

It's all part of the negotiations

But you are right when most people find the custom paperwork intimidating and most generally don't want to do it. Most UPS offices will help with the paperwork and it is painless. I've found with FedEx that it's prudent to complete your own paperwork and fax it to customs office. It makes the shipment much easier.

Corner3Garage will not ship product to Canada at this time. Too bad cuz they sell some nice stuff too! Sad to see that we still have these kind of issues in today's market...

You could ship the parts to me. I will keep them under my deck until you get here to pick them up.

Certainly, I will also get you to pay for them so they will not know they are for Canadian customers... lol

It's too bad you don't have your Z anymore, otherwise feel free to test out Wheee!'s new parts. And don't feel bad about scratching them or curbing his new wheels...that way they don't look brand new when he cross the border back into Canada, and hence don't have to declare them.

Usually if they use USPS you can avoid Duties and taxes...so I always ask they use USPS

But even still, sometimes although its a good deal in the states, the extra shipping they charge way more than it needs to be, as if we're not on the same continent lol

I have a US address as this mail place right at the border Your Home or Office in the USA!|Border Mail Service

They sign for for UPS and FedEx Packages, so full address, its great

For those of you on the West Coast, you can just ship parts to Point Roberts, WA. Then just go pick it up. It's about a 30 min. drive from downtown Vancouver. They charge $3 per package and they'll store it for 2 weeks. They also call/email you within 3 hours when your package arrives.

If it's something small, I can always help pick it up for you for those of you in edmonton or something, whenever I go down to pick up my stuff. I get a lot of stuff shipped there. I can then just mail it from Vancouver to you and all you pay for is shipping. Just another option.

Zat_Zuma · 01-30-2011, 10:48 AM

It's a nice option ..... thanks Nitrouz.
But personally, if it's something small, USPS can usually handle it and customs fees are reasonable enough.

Nitrouz · 01-30-2011, 12:27 PM

true, and honestly, anything you guys want, I can probably get it for you from different vendors and have them shipped directly to you. I have quite a few contacts in the industry...

Thanks Nitrouz! And make sure I get the same discounts as you too!

wheee! · 01-30-2011, 03:33 PM

I think that Nitrouz should do a road trip to Zedmonton and show off his car this year....

and of course bring parts with him!

Zat_Zuma · 01-30-2011, 07:19 PM

He will have to have a semi-trailer loaded with goodies and maybe room for his car too

Send him your gas card Zat....!
