As you all know shipping to the great white north tends to be a little prohibitive in that shipping really adds up.
I have more than one customer that has asked about it, so thought I'd post a thread. Looking to see who would be interested in the GBs that I have up to consolidate in one shipment. I'm sure there would be some redistribution costs, but someone would need to be the hub. We could to : The air cooling fins front strut tower rubber A-Arm bushings Rear trailing arm bushings Rubber roof holders Sail vinyl with metal trim and the Squirter hose GB I have yet to list. This can be shipped in a large FedEx ground package pretty easily, they hit the recipient for $20 in customs fees for clearance. The key is the cost for redistribution. I can put all into one package and have weights to figure out the Canadian postage cost. Just thought I'd float this out there to see if it would work. Mark |

I live near the border and use a U.S. PO Box for my orders, which works well for me personally.
I'm open to the idea of acting as a hub but, as Mark H says above, I suspect the logistics aren't great, and there likely aren't any overall savings if I expect to get compensated for my time. Local group buys as suggested by MikeM would seem to be the ideal method. How many world members live in the Kingston area? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
