Fellow Canadians, Where do you buy your parts online?

Where's some places you can order online that won't screw you with shipping or the USD?

 

Depends on what you're ordering?
What did you have in mind? There's a difference between site fresheners and armour.

 

See if you can swindle the supplier to ship USPS rather than Fedex and United Parcel Service . Agree with Krazie , small items are cheap to ship

 

Honestly anything, from Front Bumpers to Tonneau Covers, to skid plates. I don't know of any online sites to buy this kind of stuff in Canada. There seems to be plenty in the USA.

 

Buy online from the USA, ship to a U.S. post office box or parcel receiving service on the American side of your nearest border crossing, then take a day trip and collect your parts. Make large orders and you'll save money going over the border yourself. Just don't try to cheat your way past customs or you'll find yourself with a sore butt hole and a huge fine to pay. For me driving to the boarder to pick stuff up has proven to be the cheapest way hands down to get things from the states without the hassle of finding someone who will ship cross border.

I'm not sure if the ferry ride would fudge your costs over though...

 

I see you are in Victoria

Use Seawings Express , US packages ship to their Blaine location and then they bring it up for you , their office is at the Sidney airport , when you go to get your goods they give you the importation documents and you walk over and pay your GST and any applicable charges at the Canada Customs office in the main terminal and then go back with your paperwork and collect your goods

Very good service and extremely reasonable , I've used them quite a few times

^looks like a good plan.

 

Might wanna wait a little before grabbing parts from the states . Gonna cost you an extra 13 cents on the dollar as of 10/27/14 . With this said and if you combine the shipping , duty ,brokerage fees and exchange rate it may be worth purchasing from a supplier in the frozen North if they have what you are looking for . Cant see the canadain dollar getting any relavant increases in the near future due to the reduction in the fuel costs .I had planned to do my regular winter vacation in Florida this year but because of the economy , I am considering spending my hard earned money in a 3rd world country rather than having my wallet raped .

 

We've been spoiled by a dollar on par. Just double check your prices between suppliers, both us and canadian, anytime you order something. Most of the goodies you mentioned for your Tacoma come out of US distribution, and because of the middle man the U.S. price is often still better even when the dollar is at 80 cents.

Now when I turned 16 and my parents took me to Montana for a hockey tournament and the dollar was just over 65 cents... that was rape.

 

Here's a site that offers free shipping in Canada.

And with the exchange rate (plus shipping from the US), you may find that some prices on some items are about even or better.

Take a look:

I hope this helps you in your quest to empty your pockets.

 

Late to the post but I've ordered some stuff from partsengine.ca
They also have an eBay store which is sometimes a few dollars cheaper.
