When do you think you'll have it all done?

 

Earliest end april if all goes well and parts are easily attainable
If not then end of may if it doesn't get finished by then I'll have to wait till after September

 

It was gonna be a full engine swap but it's been waiting to find a engine since last September so we figured pull the engine out and have it rebuilt


Plus I have to get Toyota to redo the leaf pack and the accelerator peddle done

 

How much did shipping and border fees cost?

 

Little update for anyone in NS looking to do the diff breather; ordered these numbers from Toyota dealership; they said it would not fit, but told them to order the parts anyways. Thankfully these numbers did in fact yield the correct parts.

 

I paid 28 dollars shipping and 100 bucks in duties on the kit.

 

Wow how was it that cheap lol

 

When the boarder people rolled the dice to see how much I owe I lucked out!

I honestly think that's what happens..

I owed 55 dollars on 550 US dollars of tranny parts.. and when I got my clutch, 325 US, I owed 111. It's fucked.

 

shipping though, did you say 28 bucks?

 

I think they had some sort of sale on and I lucked out.

 

customs It happens all the time. The volume of parcels that go through is overwhelming. They pick and choose.

I have had $200 plus parcels that go through without tax or duties. They skip through if they are labelled auto parts.

 

Rarely do I get anything without taxes or duties. And I don't know if I've ordered anything but car/truck parts from the states!

 

Fort Erie is overwhelmed.

Must be a postal code thing.

Where do your parcels cross?

 

They normally end up in Montreal before anywhere else in Canada, aside from that I don't know

 

I think the courier makes a difference. If it ends up getting delivered by Purolator you are less likely to get hit for customs. Canada Post doesn't bother charging for every package because it's not worth the hassle. All the others charge for every package because it is the law.

 

I normally ship through USPS/CP because they seem to be the most reasonable

 

I don't understand what your saying.

 

i was saying when you buy used Vehicles from private sellers
I bought a my 07 Tacoma from a guy in Labrador Im the 3rd owner its at my Fathers house in Nova Scotia
it came from Saint John New Brunswick it was a Company Vehicle until 2011 then (still has the Saint John Toyota sticker on the tailgate) Then the Guy in Labrador drove it till the engine shit the bed on him I bought it off the guy in Labrador and had it brought to Nova Scotia (in September 2016) for my Father to Fix or Replace the Engine the truck was never cleaned out so last weekend I went to Nova Scotia to visit the truck I went thru the back seats flipped them up down and checked the seat compartments and had found
jumper cables a 1st aid kit and a pair or ballistic Oakley's just clear lenses tho
anyway after the Vehicle is fixed and ready to go the truck is gonna go Full circle back to New Brunswick
and always go thru your Vehicles if you buy them 2nd or 3rd hand youll find Treasures

like my 2001 I had dropped a toonie down the seat went searching for the 2 dollars came out with 5 dollars American

 

Talk about a nice exchange rate.

 

LoL yeah I know I know there is more change in the seat I can't get out , my truck is American it came to Canada by auction that's how I bought it
