Called Comp today to order cam/lifter/springs for the U/SA project. Got it all ordered and he says "Canada? we don't ship internationally".....umm...what??
So, for any Canadians on here, how are you getting parts out of the States?? |

Either get a US address or send to a buddy and ship from there. And Yes living in Canada sucks when it comes to this

Broke… I use Summit (Free Shipping to Canada), Competition Products(USPS) Ray Barton(UPS) or occasionally Jegs(FEDEX). Some vendors will ship US Postal Service and it arrives by our Canada Post, works well.
I live 10 minutes from the Border and have a US Mailing address that handles my larger freight, follow Tracking and go across and handle my Brokerage and that Lovely Tax. Another thing Summit and Competition Products both will handle your Custom Requests (like Stocker Cams) I usually organize it with lets say Comp Cams, get a contact name and pass the order of to my Summit Rep and they make contact with the Comp guy, to get it done. I then will get a order confirmation from both Comp & Summit. Hope this helps… MB. Last edited by MAURICE BLENDHEIM; 10-26-2023 at 06:34 PM. |

I have had this lots lately. The paperwork for the shipper is a pain so they can't be bothered. This is the New Republic of Canada!

After talking to Will at comp cams I called kegs but they are in the middle of inventory and can’t add this number. Either wait or go to a competitor.
So I called Summit and they can add my number to their inventory so it can be ordered, but it will take an hour or two, they’ll call me back. That was Friday…. I’ll wait until Monday and try again. All that comes down to, if you’re not in the US you have to order through someone else(unless you have a US P.O. Box) |

Broke, I live in Canada, and I have a PO Box at the border at a business that does this as a business. I'm sure there is one at your border. Once
my package arrives, I can either drive down and clear it through Customs myself, or the company will forward it to me( quite expensive). But if I'm busy, then you pay. Must be a similar service at your border crossing. Living in Canada and racing is hard enough, you have to have things set up to make your life easier. If you need more info, PM me your phone number and I'll help you any way I can. J.R. |

Thanks guys, I’m about 7-9hrs from the border (valley in NS). So I’ve talked to will at comp cams and a couple at summit so I’ll try and set it up between them.
Nothing is easy I guess🙄 |

Good to know though, it might end up that way. (or in the least it's another option) Thanks, Chris! |
