Default Mail Order Parts TO Canada

Hello,

Curious who ships to Canada with a discount.

I see Zanotti's no longer has the option to ship to Canada, and Surdyke has certificate errors. Chicago HD is the most expensive of the three.

I guess I could eBay, but I'd rather find a discount HD Parts provider if I can. The savings is pathetic.

Canadian dollar is at par - yet the prices are WAY higher MSRP.

Thanks Everyone!!

When I have business trips that take me to Vancouver and then a drive down to Seattle I always stop in to Skagit Harley in Burlington. Only about 45 minutes south of the border. Might be a consideration....
Bit further south but I have ordered some stuff from Lynnwood Harley and had it express posted. Even shipping and duty was big money saving(Basically my Stage 1; Monster ovals, Arlen Ness Big Sucker and Power Commander) I figure I saved about $700

Find someone in the US and ship to them. Then have them turn around and ship to you. Probably would still save you some cheese..

Try M&M cycles (mandmcycles.com). Chicago HD is running about 3-4 weeks to ship due to a worker shortage (straight from their mouth).

I've ordered a number of times from M&M. Great service and very fair with shipping to Canada.

Make sure you specify USPS for shipping - courier companies (particularly UPS) will definitely charge you a hefty brokerage fee (about $70 for UPS) every time they ship over the border. Canada Post only collects about $6 as a brokerage fee if duty is assessed and duty isn't always assessed for less expensive stuff.

Get a US postal box and go get the stuff yourself, it's the only way to avoid all the brokerage crap. You will save alot in the long run.

x 2- if you're near the border, Kinek can't be beat.

I use ACE Hardware in Calais. They receive your parcel (including parcels bigger than what the PO will handle) and charge a few dollars to hold it for you.

Never use UPS!
Like it was said you pay allot extra in Canada.
I was working up there for three years and found out (once) the hard way.
Postal service works.
