ACCESSORIES TO CANADA

[luckyluciano]

To all my Canadian fellow F6B'rs:

Shipping to here is outrageous. Just ordered rivco aero pegs. Shipping $49???

Went to order the Klockwerks Flare windshield. Shipping $98???????

Shipping in the U.S. Free????? (if certain dollar amount in some cases}

These shipping costs do not include duty or taxes. Does it really cost that much more just to cross our boarder? Candadamotorcycle said it will get the dark smoke flare in by the end of October but i don't plan on riding in the snow even with the flare.

What's the reason for the gouging on the shipping?? Anyone know?

If you can get the part shipped USPS Priority International Mail it costs less but may take 8-10 days. Paying taxes and duty can be a hit and miss through the mail but using UPS or Fedex will cost you. I have a US shipping address that I use for big or pricey items. If I can buy locally or in Canada I weigh my cost options.

or... we can get a self storage building in Niagara, and have stuff shipped there. You can smuggle me coffee crisp, areo bars, pepperetts, and VH sauce. I will have my aunt pick them up she lives in Ridgeway!

I do kind of the same thing when I send stuff to my BIL in Germany....just send it a APO address and he gets the package on base...very slow shipping !!!

.....or just use the self storage as a garage, install the parts, and drive them back across.

I think the USPS priority international was. $98

Got me excited at first but the self store is probably more expensive than the shipping.

Shipping to Canada is more complicated than within the US and as such some vendors charge shipping fees that are a little steep to compensate for their trouble. Can 't blame them, I just look for those vendors who are more receptive to doing business with those of us North of the border.

Our cost to ship the Aero Pegs to Canada is about $43 plus insurance with Priority Mail. We do not charge for the insurance, figure that is free along with the extra paperwork that is required. We work on helping people out with duty on price declaration.
Shipping is a lot more expense from the shippers especially UPS and FedEx for international. We only ship using the postal system internationally if possible. You do not get any extra surprises (bill for custom processing) with the postal system like UPS.
Shipping locally for those pegs in the states may be somewhere around $8 to $10 depending on where it is shipping and no paper work.
Shipping Cost is based on weight and some cases dimensional weight. With something like those pegs that weigh 6 pounds it is more for international shipping, but way cheaper then UPS.

We do also try and go with 1st class mail international with smaller items when possible. Shipping is a lot cheaper, but no type of real tracking and takes longer.

Hope this helps in understanding that in a lot of cases the shipping is not the cause of the vendor but the cause of the shipper. You may find a product like this that is not discounted at all and they are absorbing some of the shipping costs.
In all cases you need to look at the total price which also includes service. If you have questions or concerns and can not contact someone, the $5 or $10 you saved is not worth much.
