Help Please Canada Shipping
 

I'm trying to ship a pair of used valve covers to a guy in Windsor. I had everything set up with UPS and then the paperwork thing hit https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

I have tried to set up the documents I think I need through the UPS online but I am having little luck.

Any suggestions or advice. The fellow in Windsor really needs them otherwise I would scrap the whole deal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Can any friends north help ????

US Postal Service is less of a hassle and it will save the guy some customs charges as well.

I just returned from Windsor,as I have family living near there in Amhersburg.
USPS is the ONLY company I use for international shipping.
You can also do yourself & others a favour & pick up a stack of their customs declarations labels to take home with you for next time.
Fill one out completely before you arrive next time,and watch the postal workers & customers behind you thank you out loud,as you have all your ducks in a row and don't have to make them wait for you.

UPS is a pain for shipping into Canada. A lot of Canadians who live near a border town will have a US mail drop to facilitae the larger itemd that wont ship USPS. USPS is the best way for anything under 25 lbs.

Looks like I should have asked first. I didn't think shipping to our friends north would involve so much paper. I love ups for the stuff I ship but it has all been US shipments.

Hopefully my feeble mind will be able to navigate the unknown paperwork jungle https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

If there was an "I suck" sign now would be an appropriate time to use it

See if their is bus line that goes up there. The cheapest shipping I found out is Greyhound.. I shipped a hood to NY from FL for under 200 dollars.
For ALL you guys shipping parts, check with Grayhound. You will be in shock at the prices and how easy it is to ship !!

UPS is a total rip off with thier duties and trumped up brokrage fees to canada

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

The above advice using good ol' US Postal Mail Service is truly the best way to get smaller things here to Canada..
It saves dough too being it avoids broker fees also duty on the less expensive items..

Rich, Greyhound is great for sheetmetal and bigger type parts but for little stuff I would ship UPS or USPS. I don't think I ever had trouble shipping to Canada UPS. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I know I have to specify Canada when sending a USPS money order.

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

Have the guy locate the closest UPS store (in Michigan) to the border and ship the parts there. He can go and pick them up for a service fee of $5 or so and pay no brokerage charges and get cheaper shipping. This is what I do...

hi so i have it shipped to the boarder ups store i drive 3-4 hours from oakville whats this cost in GAS AND TIME

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

You must live in another Oakville...mine is 55 minutes to the UPS store and the wife gets to do a Target run at the same time https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif All I get is my parts and a bucket of Buffalo's finest chicken wings https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif BTW, UPS brokerage charges are $40 per package which more than covers my gas https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif And some people might not declare their purchases and avoid the 13% taxes...but I wouldn't do that https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

If you are going to use USPS it is also a good idea to use AIR MAIL. The cost is marginally more (25%) and the item gets here in about a week or so. I've had ground items take up to six weeks.

The brokerage fees at UPS are just plain silly. Something that might cost $50 in fees from UPS is a flat $6 charge from USPS.

I'll go back to sleep in my igloo now https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

There are no bus lines that will cross the border with parts. There are some courier companies that won't either. I ship and receive quite a few parts and believe me it can be a real pain sometimes. It's almost like another country or something. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

I have shipped all over the world with lots of parts and I only use USPS for them, because they have the best prices and their speed is the fastest. I only use UPS $ greyhound for large and very heavy parts.

canada post/usps for me. shipped a 302 crank to maryland through the mail, no problem.

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

As a Canadian, I prefer to have everything from the US shipped to me by USPS. I have had Corvette rims shipped by the post office, and they arrived just fine. Not all on the same day, but they got here. The frustrating thing with UPS or FedEx, is that there is always another cost on top of the shipping, and you never know when the bill will come, or how much it will be.
If you are selling used parts into Canada, just mark on the declaration slip that they are used parts, made in USA, and they will arrive just fine.

Re: Help Please Canada Shipping
 

I will second or third the use of USPS. I've received, carbs and various other car parts that way without the UPS gouging. Valve covers are light and shouldn't be a problem.

USPS,

IN, OUT DONE!!!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
