Has anyone ordered anything from the US lately?LMC is still working on the shipping charges....I have a feeling I'm going to land up cancelling another order from them,all because of shipping and all the other fees...Is there a better way besides going down to the US is get parts??Does it seem these shipping charges are way more than a year ago.

 

If you have a freind down there, you can have them shipped to them,, the closer to the border the better. Then have your friend ship it to you as a gift via post office. That will save alot of money

 

Anyone had a trusting friend in the USA??I don't know anyone down there..

 

I'm pretty sure you will pay less then what I did,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,$400, but that was for a bumper!

 

Cross Canada sells sport headlights....The price is a killer at $223 each.

 

USPS is the most reasonable place. The border fees are what kills you with Fedex and UPS. I went down this summer to get tires and rims and with all of the fuel it was still cheaper then local, and shipping would of been more to. But now shipping is getting more reasonable it seems. FYI though, I am 99% sure my bro is heading down to Cali pretty soon to buy a car, going to get a bunch of stuff bought back up and could for others

 

I just have a strange feeling this $258 CAN grill is going to run way over $100 plus..And the worse thing you don't know what the damage till it hits your Visa bill..LMC is checking in general mail service...Like before,I had to cancel a LMC order of $60 because the shipping by mail was $50...It was only a small box of body side moulding in a 12x 12 inch box..

 

Dave I have a couple of freinds in Idaho,, and I think that there is a guy that most of the guys on here know that lives in Montana (drill pipe or marine or something like that)

there are a few guys that will do it for you

 

Thanks Kevin...I should get the price soon...then I will go from there,may have to start collecting cans at the community centre..I even did a SGI search in Sask,didn't find anything,but I found sport headlights in Regina.

 

I got the lion share of the mods for this last build when the our dollar was 1.15....sure sucks now.

Best luck lately with UPS...some companys are "declare" friendly....if you know what I mean.....

 

Talk to the Dr.

Dr. Evil has many connections below the 49th..

 

Yea, Mike (Marine) is down in Montana, and comes up this way fairly frequently. I'd talk to him. Or to Doc, he knows everyone!

 

I bought new clear headlights last yr off an e-bay seller (90ish for both) and 60$ shipping, I guess I was not clear enough when I told them only to ship it via POST OFFICE, they sent it by UPS and UPS charged 35$ "customs fees" on top of the prepaid shipping! so it cost as much for shipping as it did for the freaking lights. OH well at least they were cheaper and better than the CrossCanada ones that were in excess of 200 each.

I think there are lots of places that will ship via the post office, UPS/FEDEX are criminals with their exorbiant "customs fee"

 

Thanks guys...I sent Dr. Evil a message..How I hate putting people out on this.No one has these sport grills in Canada unless I go to dodge...and I just cannot dish out $1,082 for a grill.You would think with this economy,the goverments would want as much trade between the countries to help business out...

 

Since when has logic ever been a topic for economics??
