We have a lot of Canadian customers and ship to Canada daily, so this is
routine for us. We use USPS (mail) for most shipments but also offer FedEx
Air. Ted is right in advising you to stay away from any UPS or FedEx
shipments that do not go by Air. The brokerage fees can be tremendous and
are not disclosed in advance; you can get a nasty bill upon delivery.
However, FedEx Air shipments do not incur those fees, as they are included
in the shipping charge. Normally FedEx Air is much pricier than USPS, but we
get nearly a 50% negotiated discount and pass it on to our customers, which
makes it an affordable alternative in some cases.  (And delivery takes just
a few days to anywhere in Canada.)  We also label our parts as "for motor
vehicle 25 years or older," which in some cases can reduce the import duty.
If you place an order online, we quote you on your various shipping options
by email shortly after receiving your order.

It is still available to active list members. The code is list1e  and it
goes in the "referral code" field on checkout. It gives you a 5% discount on
most orders over $50.  There are certain exclusions, most notably sale
items, made-to-order or special-order items, tires/wheels,
engines/transmissions, and gift certificates. You can use the code
repeatedly, but please don't publicize it outside of this List.
