Great products but the last time I ordered they only ship UPS - you're going to get charged HUGE to get your stuff across the border.

UPS SUCKS ASS unless you SPECIFY a broker of your own.

Get a mailbox in Blaine and have it shipped there, then go pick it up...

That is a fact. It has been explored before on this forum.

Your best options are to have it sent US Mail parcel post to Canada ($5.00 clearing fee and whatever Taxes or duties apply) or shipped to Point Roberts or Blaine WA.

you can send it by fedex,they will clear the package for you ,and all you have to do is pay what ever duties and taxes there is at time of delivery.....

I agree. I usually have my gear shipped here and go pick it up.

Send it to Blaine Enterprises 936 Peace Portal dr. Blaine Wa. 98230. Then go down & pay $2.00 & bring it on home.You may have to pay gst if the Cdn border guards feel like charging you.

The parts I got from CB last year $250 usf for about 40or 50 lbs UPS air.
CB will only ship UPS air to Canada.
Then they want the GST collect when they show up.

Mark,

I used to order direct from CB for years, but then found out that C1 is a CB dealer.

When comparing the prices, including freight, duty, brokerage fee, etc, it seemed that C1 was less expensive and certainly less hassle. Of course, I live in the same city as C1, so it is also more convenient, than it would be for you.

In my last order, I bought the 044 CNC heads, crank, rods, pistons/cyl, etc, and the \"package cost\" came out less with the CVD 10% discount factored in.

Yup you're right Neil
I have a bunch of motor stuff ordered from C1 coming this weekend and another one with wolfsburg west parts too.
