Shipping

[assault11]

Im getting a motor, pipe, a arms and a few other small items shipped up from the states (I live in Alberta) and they told me it is going to be 800$ to ship it plus brokerage fees and whatever else. Does anyone know a better way to ship it than ups. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I would try Fedex

I shipped a set of C&A XTXs from Wisconsin to Sweden for $100 via USPS. I would have your shipper look into them.

USPS won't do it cause it's to heavy

Break it up into smaller packages.Its going to be spendy no matter what.

did you try splitting it up into multiple packages?

The motor is assembled so it can't go through the post office. They allow up to 70 pounds. The motor is 90

You can ship it to Montana Shipping Outlet (sweet grass). Register on website and they will email you when package arrives. They charge a reasonable handling fee. Take passport and drive 4-4.5 hrs pick-up. MSO is 3 min from border. Stop at duty free and by cheap beer. Declare everything at border and pay 5% gst. Did this from Airdrie about 5 times in last few years. Saved a ton in shipping fees on large items.

Have done the same thing when selling to persons in Canada, they talk to a dealer or some business that they use there address and come pick it up.

One thing for sure is DO NOT use UPS. Fedex isn't much different but they will ding you with all kinds of charges.

I don't have a passport and they said it takes three weeks to get one

Have you tried Purolator?

The passport thing is a a good idea and should be a 10 year investment.

yep..x2..then ship usps

You only have to pay the GST if you declare it at the border. I have a buddy bring stuff up from Montana once a month, so that makes it easier for me. UPS is a complete rip off when it comes to brokerage. I like that Montana shipping outlet idea, might have to try that if my stuff isn't ready for shipping before the next trip.

$800 for shipping? Thats insane! Im having my nytro shipped from Minnesota to Montreal for the same price as that.
