It usually delays the shipping by a couple of days.. and you have to pay a fee at delivery! When I recieved my wheels I had to pay $275.. my splitter $120.. cash or a cheque! Regardless the fee's you still save big money buying anything from the US. Canadian car parts are ridiculous! It's really no sweat at all, the vendor just has to add a bit of paperwork showing the value and content of the goods.

btw I'll shoot you a pm, GTA meet Sept. 21st. Hope to see you there!

even after taxes shipping duties and brokerage its always way cheaper still ordering parts and accessories from the US.

Also ship US postal service if you can and avoid UPS if possible. UPS has the highest brokerage fees.
