Anyone here have shipping contacts in Canada?

Post by Merlin »

's up?

I need to ship some bulky goods from Canada, and the online quotes are showing daft numbers.

Anyone able to assist with affordable shipping? Shipping time and methods are not important, just the cost.

Thanks, Nic.

Thanks, Chris. I'd really appreciate it. :)

The rims are in Calgary, Alberta - if I go by postal code.

To save on costs you will need to ship it surface, (by ship) the post office no longer does that so you are likely going to have to pay for shipping to the docks and then from the docks to here, been there, not cheap, even surface. Be prepared for around $300 and wheels cary a 22% import duty here in SA and VAT to top that.
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......
