Hey what's the best shipping method for shipping stuff up from the US that you guys have used? I bought ZX2 struts from illakillas and hes having trouble shipping it through UPS...I am in the 604 vancity area suggestions appreciated

UPS always charged a flat fee duty fee everytime u get something from the US, its lame., USPS is a cheaper option, but takes forever! Fedex and DHL are the best IMO

The problem with using DHL and Fedex is that they only ship ground in the US. So using airmail is 5 times more expensive. UPS is the highest priced carrier. I don't know why anyone used them. USPS is probably your best bet. They won't ship large items.

yeah bad news...
UPS...I was thinking too a hell of alot of duty + taxes

USPS FTW... otherwise I use FedEx only because I get a discount

I always used USPS also.. I also live close to the boarder so I use the work po box and drive across to pick my stuff up... most of the time if it is used parts or what not I will just unpack it and bring it back through.. 95% of the time they dont even ask want it is... and when they do say its old car parts left over from working on the car...

usps ground only, cheap and not too bad on time. other than that i get stuff shipped to sumas and pick it up from there.

FedEx offers Ground International shipping. Thought I'd mention it.

Also, FedEx now owns DHL. Thought I'd mention that as well.

o really? Fedex does international ground too? I thought they only do air...it would really suck if the reason why I can't get my stuff is because of a shipping problem...

FedEx Express is a completely different division than FedEx Ground. In fact, we don't affiliate ourselves with each other at all.

You can't, however, go to a FedEx/Kinko's and fill out a Ground International label...

You can only do a international ground label online.
