I know I wont. Someone wanted me to send a motorcycle part up there and they wanted $45.00 to send what I was going to up there and I only wanted $35 for what I was selling so I gave the guy his money back. Another guy in TX bought it later and cost me like $13.00 in a flat rate box. And you cant do flat rate to Canada. Even my decals are not cost effective to send up there so I just wont do it. I end up loosing money on them just cause of shipping costs and no one buys when I tell them they have to pay extra for the shipping above my set prices.

Shipping up here is retarded expensive. I built a Chev 383, shopped locally, then decided to go with Summit Racing. Bought a crank kit (crank, rods, pistons), camshaft, roller rockers, heads, oil pan, pump and pickup, torque converter and all assembly hardware. Free shipping was all they advertised on the order, my shipping address was canadian, and I didn't see any indication that I would have to pay any more than I already did. The truck showed up with an $800 bill, border fees and overweight shipment...... In the end it would have been cheaper to buy local

I bought and installed a G shaped rubrail over the factory aluminum one. I posted the article over on the IHR (International HydroStream Registery)
