Best way to ship to Canada?
I need to ship an exhaust to Canada from Alabama, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to go about doing this the cheapest possible way. Any info is appreciated!!!

there is NO cheap way to do that
I hope your buyer is aware of ALL taxes he'll have to pay...especially if dealing with DHL |

I've ordered lots of stuff from the states, and the "Brokerage Fees" really hurt, that's above the GST & PST (15%) OMG.
Best Carriers: USPS (Sometimes the Canadian Gov't let's us get away with things) FedEx: 50% Chance the destination address gets a bill for the taxes. Absolute Worst Carrier to ship to Canada: UPS, do not ship by UPS. Their brokerage fees are enourmous, sometimes up to 40% of the cost of the product. OMG Good luck, hope this helps. |

I know if you get something shipped as a "gift" then you avoid brokerage fee's. What I don't know is if there is a size or weight limit that would cancel out this "gift" loophole. I had SS bushings sent to me as a gift and avoid $60 in brokerage fee's.

There shouldn't be a weight restriction if you declare it as a gift. Another way to avoid the crazy fees is to have the person sending it declare the value of the item very low... I think anything over $20 US and the brokerage fees start mounting.
