Expensive. It can also depend on who ships it (UPS) (PUROLATOR) etc...

Example 4 shocks form RRM cost me $238 extra.

If you live in Ontario or Canada go to aftershockautomotive.com. I was kinda questioning how experienced these guys are until I saw there prototype turbo kit.(sick) They also managed to get an extra 7.6hp from the wheels on a mustang dyno.

Check them out now.

Just ask for USPS shipping... you pay taxes + 5$ handling fees (so just ask to put lower value on boxes )

UPS and Fedex will rip you off

Or if you don't want to pay customs http://www.freeportforwarding.com/ is there for you !

Enjoy

When I shipped to canada for a paintball gun I just marked the package as a gift so there were no customs fee. (i think)

kinda off topic but they got 7.6hp from a turbo kit?


As far as shipping, don't go with UPS like said above they rape you in everyway possible... Customs is just annoying, i shipped some exhaust hangers (Kartboys) up there when i sold my set and it cost 46$ extra to get through customs..

Unfortunately, that's also illegal and a business could get into a lot of trouble for that, so I don't imagine they'd be willing to do it.

Most businesses wouldn't mark packages as gifts, simply for the sole reason otter mentioned.

No business wants to be liable for avoiding shipping charges. Ban for life yo!

We cannot declare as gifts but we always mark down the declared value 50% to help our Canadian Customers. ALways seems to work well. Otherwise buying Canada may avoid duties but it is included in the price so it works out. No Canadian has been able to avoid duties on parts coming from the US. So you kinda pay one way or the other.
