Brokerage isn't that much although they don't do you any favors on duty charges. If its US mfg it should be duty free. What could be a saving is cheaper freight charges to a US destination vs a Cdn destination. Believe it or not lots of people like me don't live close to the border. :)

I received a $40 warranty item from a supplier in the US. The supplier even covered the shipping. When the UPS guy showed up at my door, he handed me a brokerage bill for $60.

I tried to look the brokerage up on the UPS site and all I found were pages and pages of numbers, zones, weights, distances etc. LOL......I gave up :)

Lotta suppliers ship free in lower states, that gets the item to my shippers address in Blaine WA. free.
Then each pkg was $15 - 18, landed in Victoria B.C.
Then I paid the sales taxes to Customs, - done.

My ferry fare is over $300 round trip, and 2 hr drive each way.
I often accumulate a whole buncha sale stuff over a month, sometimes longer for Xtra charge.
For you maybe a long drive, or short flight, rent a car/trailer.
I have saved Soo much $$$, and the wife's real lucky in the Casinos.
The holiday is often very worth it, - for her ! ! lol

No
Kinek holds the pkgs on the US side of the border, you skip across the border, pick up pkgs at US warehouse, bring pkgs back to border crossing Customs, go inside, pay taxes, go home.
The Seawings shipper is "bonded", picks up in Blaine, brings to Victoria Airport in "bond?", supplies the "bill of lading", you bring with you a printed copy of your sales contract/receipt to customs dude at same airport, pay sales tax and duty if due.
Take documents customs supplies, give to shipper dude, plus $15 per pkg.
Done, - takes longer to type than to do . lol

Anyone ever here of TTI or a distributor do a "free shipping" or sale/promo? Within the US.
Thanks

No. Mancini had 25% off of shipping around Christmas. Just buy direct from TTI and skip the hassle. That’s what I’m doing.
 
Yeah I spoke to Alayna on the phone from TTI, sounds like good people. Shipping 2 kits is like $350 US and that's only to NY state. Ridiculous...

Just here to report that I just ordered tti headers at Rob's Rod Shop
Rob's a great guy to deal with, very knowledgeable about Mopars, and has experience with installing most tti products. He answered any product questions I had, and we talked cars for almost an hour! :thumbsup:

How was his price on the headers AND shipping compared to say Mancini or Hughes?
 
@BrianT The prices are the same on the parts, I think they're set by tti. Shipping cost depends where you live. All of the retailers have these headers drop shipped. If you are in the market, give Rob a call, a good guy!
Customer service = A+
