    I know how sketchy that sounds, but see, I've found a piece that would make my life infinitely easier for my car. But they wont ship to canada. I was just wondering if any of you kind souls would be willing to ship it my way? Its 30$ to get in the US but about 120+ in Canada lol... I contacted the company directly to see if they can help but if not Im kinda hooched lol :bs:

    I am an hour away from the Maine/NB border and there is a small Feed Store that holds parcels for us Canucks across the border. It's too bad a lot of US companies do not ship to Canada.

    It's sad that even after driving for two hours, paying the taxes at the border and $3 per package at the Feeds Store, it's STILL cheaper than having the same product shipped to my house... I feel your frustration.

    But, how big could Canada really be?? I've heard that before. I have a place in Port Huron Michigan, that will accept, and then get the packages into Canada.

    I hated the idea of shipping your way because the one time I did it it was a royal pain. My opinion changed when I sent some patch panels to ESamson. I went to a different post office where they were actually helpful and made it much easier. It's an intimidating process due to the over complication of it by our government with all the forms and crappy web site.

    How many forms is it? When we ship to the US, it's one simple slip of paper.

    There are 2 different forms to fill out depending on weight, if it is under 4 pounds you use a simple form, over 4 pounds it gets a little more difficult.

    I imagine we have to fill out the same basic items you do, description of part,value of part, gift or sales item,weight and address to ship to and from. Canada is not too bad Brazil is more difficult due to addressing the package to correct spot and size limits. I have cut grill into 2 pieces so they could be shipped as a side note on that be careful when you put item in bubble wrap because it expands and can crush the item due to luggage compartment pressures.

    Mexico is really hard to ship to and who knows if the package will make it depending on how much customs likes it
