Oops, I shouldve been more clear. I'm goin to sweetgrass to do a parts pickup to save money on durty and shipping costs. I have a rear diff that I'm picking up among some other parts. Wondering if there is anyone who'd be interested in doing a similar pickup and split the cost?
Thanks

I used to do this 3-4 times / year , ordering parts in the US saves usually 30-50% on cost then have them shipped to the border , pick them up & import them yourself .

Hey chryco, this will be first time doing this trip to sweetgrass, do you have any tips on how to make the process go smoothly? Have you ever brought back packages for a friend? Is that easy or too much of a headache?

Thanks

It can be a pain , I think it is OK to pick up parts for others but it would not hurt to have a letter authorizing it , Canada just wants the taxes so as long as the paperwork is Good you should be fine . the forced me to decalre a value of frre advertizing pamphelts  :banghead:
 Which are you using Montana storage or Bobby ? I always used Bobby. but both are good .

Thanks Chryco,
Dr diff recommended a place called " at the border storage"
Im gonna rent a truck for the trip since I cant fit too much stuff in my jeep.
