interesting thread in regards to shipping to Canada via UPS/USPS/FedEX

Though you guys may be interested, and want to say your piece.

Props to Todd for starting it!

this has been mentioned numerous times by me and others
and still they just don't get it
we are a small part of their sales and they truly don't care.
people try to help out but go a bit to far and bad things happen in the end most of the parts are supplied from US wholesalers and US manufactures and it just comes to a Canadian store those in the US are still making the piece of the pie, it is nearly fruitless I always ask the vendor will you ship USPS if they say no then that is the deal breaker. I get most of what i want off ebay cause most of those vendors will ship USPS. and this doesn't just mean Jeep stuff.

It is frustrating as F#@& but now that our dollar is only work .80 cents it isn't cost effective now i just try Canadian vendors. and i have patience.

Todd your one of many that are preaching and no one is listening.
amen

Well it looks like there may be some results from that thread. LOL...it was more of a rant cause I was choked about a diff cover. Hopefully we will see some more vendors hop on board.

When you take into considering all the extra's you have to pay these days to get anything shipped up from our friends down south, it doesn't make much sense to any more.... Try to keep it local or atleast Canadian...
