Any Canadian Guys?

Hey guys,

I live out west about an hour out of Vancouver. Just wondering if there is any Canadian websites that you buy your stuff from. Like I found weather tech Canada while I was on the US site. I know most things come from the states anyways sometimes it nicer being able to buy the things in Canadian dollars and not worry about the duty.

It's never been a better time to buy from the US with the Canadian dollar almost being at par with the US buck

In most cases there aren't any duties on car parts anyway, as long as they're made in North America as per NAFTA. It's just the shipping that can sometimes be a kicker.

Other than that, sorry, no I don't have any Canadian sites for ya.

As an aside, I was going to import an F150, but after checking into it and wheeling and dealing over the phone with dealers in PA, OH and the Chicago area, I found it really wasn't worth it. It would have cost me more. It's funny how some vehicles are REALLY worth importing, and others aren't. High end SUV's on the other hand are well worth it.

Sorry for the rant and off topic blabber, but I just had to get it out.

Yeah. The new smaller 6-foot models. Much better than the 15-footers we used to use.

Man having 2 dozen channels is great.

I live in the Kootenays and only 10 minutes from the Idaho border so I have a PO box there and there's a store that accepts UPS deliveries so I just get everything shipped there. Much faster. I find it cheaper to buy from the states even if I have to pay duties when I bring it across.

I've done the same. The UPS Store in Niagara Falls New York has accepted numerous packages on my behalf

BTW, I'm watching a show about Kootenay Lake as we speak. It's on the Aboriginal Channel. It's one of 10 fine channels I get.
