    don't they have something like a UPS for Canada?

    our post office has to be a freight service where you can send up to 100lbs so are you close enough to border to drive over and mail from here?

    How close are you to the border? Drive across the border to a US shipping company and send from there

    Yessir. Small rural town on an island... If i seperated the third/carrier and shipped separately it would cost $80-130 via canada post within canada. We only have the one post office in town.

    Looking at the pics of your town from Google, the inconvenience is worth living in such a nice place.

    Canpar, Fedex, UPS will all ship it. Some smaller trucking companies will as well. Call around and forget Canada Post for that stuff. I live on an island in Ontario and I wish I had moved here sooner....:)

    well I would renegotiate the terms so they fix the mailing regulations lol

    I guess the weight rules are because everything goes by air mail there

    Probably just gona give up on shipping it and try to sell locally. 1st gen tacomas are pretty rare to see around here. Ive probably only seen 4 others.

    You will have to dig a bit for specifics but the 8.4 was used in a lot of Toyota trucks, not just 1st gens.
    2nd gens
    T100s

    On the shipping though, there is no easy or cheap way to ship heavy stuff around Canada unless you have access to a business with a freight account.
