Mail Order in Ontario?

Hey guys, just a quick question....is there a place in Ontario where we can order parts for our cars (like a SUMMIT or JEGS)? If we order from the US the duty, exchange and tax and extra shipping kills us.

Under NAFTA, there is no duty on anything car related. Only the brokerage fees and tax hurts on buying stuff from the states. If you can't find a better deal here, odds are getting it from the states will not cost you remotely as much as here...

Take my underpulley kit.... $273 here plus tax...

I ordered from Jegs,

$80, plus exchange $130, plus brokerage and tax $40... total... $170... over $100 in savings for me...

You can drop ship parts to Mail Boxes Inc. in Buffalo and they will hold the parts for you until you can pick it up. That way you won't get stiffed with brokerage fees when you bring it back across the border. UPS charges an arm and a leg on fees.

Sorry, didn't notice that you were from Sudbury. I guess Buffalo would be a little bit out of the way.
