Hi all,
Id like to just buy some stuff from here. Its either that or ebay. The dealers here dont carry anything this time of year for bars, computers, etc. Fall here = near time to put bikes to bed.
Thanks...
Mark

we ship to canada typically via UPS. however, we are experimenting with shipping to USPS. this helps eliminate/reduce the brokerage fees UPS charges and makes the entire transaction less expensive. if you'd like to try this method with us just put that you'd like USPS shipping in your order text and we'll let you know of the cost differences.
thanks,
ken

Yes,the border guys hit me hard. I placed $157 order, and the border guys dinged me $75. Other times, stuff has made it thru without any tax. No consistency what so ever!

sounds like a rip off to me canuk...
I think it depends as well on where the stuff is made. There is suppose to be no duty on Made In USA items...
I just bought flatlands rad guards, flatlands skid plate, 6 pak of filters, and a rear tugger. came to like 210 usd or something. I paid 22 dollars hst, and 8 dollar handling fee (usps) i wont order anything from the US with any other shipping method.

I figured I got hosed! Usps to the BC border was only $20...that is understandable. We have 13% tax here. I have to order it from Ken, cause I can't find much of these goodies in Canada.
