Canadian shipping

Any Canadians on here who know where to order golf cart related parts online without having to do cross border shipping? I'm located in southern Ontario and I need a CV Tech 6 clutch for my 13 HP Honda clone golf cart.

that clutch is made in Quebec,but I couldn't find dealer up here that could get me one. I ended up buying one from cpp. ask them to send it usps instead of ups and avoid the inflated brokerage fee's.

The dollar is really good right now so I would take advantage of that. I only use USPS and its only about 3-5 dollars that Canada post charges on top of the GST or in my case HST. If you want it sooner and your close to the border, find a service across the border that you can have your purchases sent too then go pick them up your self. here is some info I found a while back on another site that explains how to clear the shipment yourself and still use UPS but not get hosed by their outrageous charges.


If you are planning to have future shipments sent to you by courier from outside Canada, you do have the option of refusing the accounting services offered by the company, choosing instead to clear the goods yourself through your local CBSA office. If you choose to do this, you will not incur any brokerage fees. The two options available to you are the following:

1. Prior to receiving your shipment, you can contact the courier company and inform them of your wish to self-clear any shipments that are addressed to you and on which brokerage fees are applicable. The company will explain their procedures to you.

2. As an alternative, when a casual shipment is delivered to you, you can refuse delivery and advise the courier company of your intention to self-clear directly with the CBSA. In this case, please ensure that you take note of the unique shipment identifier number on the package, as the shipment will be returned to the courier?s warehouse.

With both options, you will need to visit your local CBSA office and provide them with specific details, including the courier?s name, the unique shipment identifier number, a description of the goods and their value so that the CBSA can correctly assess the goods. This information is usually indicated on the shipment?s invoice, which will be provided to you by the courier company. When you have paid the applicable duties and/or taxes to the CBSA, you will be given an official receipt indicating that the goods have been accounted for. You will need to present this receipt to the courier?s warehouse where your shipment is stored, in order for the courier to release your shipment to you.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may conclude, that in order to self-clear goods in local CBSA office we need following:

- Courier?s name: UPS

- Unique shipment identifier number: UPS must provide


- Shipment?s invoice: UPS must provide


- Place where the package is being held
Let?s stop UPS outrageous behavior and lawlessness, and force them to obey the simple law and allow importers to self-clear without paying brokerage fees!

Tell about this procedure to all people who use UPS (or other couriers with high brokerage fees) to import goods from US into Canada! If UPS will hear about it from importers hundreds/thousands times per day, they will definitely start to use new procedure[/size].

here is a link to help explain some more... hope the link works...
