shipping to canada

[Yammerhead]

I'm looking at getting a 2 stroke triple cylinder watercraft motor shipped from Arizona to Saskatchewan. It's too heavy for USPS. The guy said he could send it UPS for about $150. I could live with that but I can only imagine how much UPS will bone me for brokerage. Anyone know of any other shipping options??

Agreed USPS
UPS seems to be he worst for brokerage fees

You can print shipping labels for shipments to Canada or anywhere else in the world right on the USPS web site, pay with a credit card, slap the labels on the box and away it goes. Ship it International Priority Mail, not that expensive and you get tracking and everything. Best service out there, takes about 3-5 days. I ship to Canada all the time. UPS to Canada sucks, you always get hit with big extra charges. Wig

A friend of mine uses a place, I THINK it's called uship. (Will double check this.)
You post what you want shipped, they bid on it and they deliver it.
They are individuals doing the hauling. No UPS or USPS.
He has shipped dirt bikes, sleds, and about everything you can imagine!
Have no idea how it works crossing the border, but may be worth checking into.

Hope this helps!

Just tell UPS you want to broker it yourself. It is very easy. UPS will give you some paperwork. You take that over to your local customs office. Pay all the taxes and duties (if there are any) and then customs will stamp those papers. You then go back to the UPS office and show them the stamped papers. They hand you your package and you are done.

Well, that's the first I've heard of that. Any links to more info???

DO NOT SHIP UPS TO CANADA AS THE IMPORT FEES ARE KILLER WITH THEM VERY OFTEN THE IMPORT FEES EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE GOODS USE USPS ONLY, NO IMPORT FEES WITH UPS AIR AND FEDEX AIR BUT THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION IS HIGH. DO NOT PLAY GAMES WITH VALUE S FOR FEW PENNIES OF DUTY/TAXES YOU COULD CAUSE HUGE DELAYS. PUT IN CAPS AS [POSTED MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT ABOVE POSTS SHOW NOT READ AND CANADIANS ARE SUFFERING ENORMOUS COSTS.

I'm really not sure what you're refering to??? There was some good natured joking going on the first page, but the message about USPS was getting through.

FEDEX is not bad better than ups. You will not be able to get that by usps i ordered a subwoofer for my truck and the guy that shipped it to me got it back it was to heavy to ship to canada and that was just the subwoofer alone in a cardboard box only 75lbs.
