Spoke to the powers that be and they said it was okay to post this. Companies in the U.S. sometimes offer free shipping to the "lower 48 only". I live in southern Ontario, which is "lower" than some states!!LOL. I found this company in Niagara Falls New York called CBIUSA. They let you use their address in New York for a small fee, then you go pick up your stuff and bring it home. I am not affiliated with them in any way but have had really good luck with them over the years. Recently checked out an ebay item for my bike in Santa Ana California. The price of the item was $149.00 + $96.00 shipping to my house via USPS. The same item shipped to CBI was $20.00!!! I'm about 45 minutes to Buffalo, so maybe $25.00 gas+ $6.00 for pkg. Still have to pay tax but still further ahead. Plus get to fill up on gas and chicken wings!! Check out the web site. Lee

For British Columbia, there's a company just across the border that does the same thing.

 

SHIP HAPPENS in Sumas, WA (5 min south of Abbotsford, BC) holds your parcels for 90 days, and charges $5 for a pickup. Even with the US shipping costs , plus the $5, its still usually less than shipping to Canada. (Plus GMpartsdirect only ships to US addresses ;) )

 

Plus as mentioned above, I get gas for at least 30 cents a liter cheaper!

How do you get around credit cards not allowing stuff to be shipped to an address that is not the same as the billing address?

I've never had a problem, but you could also inform your cc company what you are going to do ahead of time. Lee

Really old post but since it is pinned I figured it's a good place to store information, so I figured I'll share some sites I found with free shipping/ship from Canada. Amazon.ca usually has free shipping in Canada, lowriders.ca, tdotperformance.ca (free shipping) and customtruckpartsinc.com (have not ordered from them but they do seem to have shipping options)

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
