    From Mexico to Canada
    « on: April 08, 2009 - 09:33:53 PM »
    Darn, looks like I need to stop by the house and get my warm clothes.  I was just informed I may be working somewhere in canada for a few weeks.  It has been around 90 degrees here in Mexico.  Now it will be like 9 there. 

    Eh? you know :icon16:    Just practicing.... :wave:  Maybe I can visit someone up there when I find out where Im going

    sounds cool, but Canada is a VERY big place.

    Yes I'd say it will be cheaper for sure! No brokerage fee's duty ( Taxes) Good deal for the buyer! :2thumbs:

    Here is what I have found. Shipping via USPS is a hit or miss. I have waited between a week and a half and up to two months depending on the customs checking. UPS seemed to sail right in. Crossing the boarder with a car parts might raise a red flag. Oh, and if you do ship from the US, definitely  say that it is a gift. Canada charges half the declared value in tax to the buyer!  :22yikes:   :faint:

    Hey Al, you'll have to let us know where and when you will be in the frozen white north so someone can take you out for a good meal.  As far as shipping the guages it would be cheaper to ship within canada, see if that is workable for you. :cooldancing:

    USPS is great for shipping to Canada, I have never heard or experienced half the value as tax in Canada.

    UPS sucks for shipping to Canada as you pay the tax and they also charge you a brokerage fee.

    If you can bring the cluster with you easily, it would be much better to ship within Canada.
