I live in Canada and if I sell rims to someone in the states how does all the shipping mumbojumbo work out??

thanx
b-rad

 

How does the shipping mumbojumbo work out? Uhhhh you go to the place you are using to ship your rims, pay for it - and have a nice day.

 

well said.

 

ok well then .....should i drive over to Niagara Falls N.Y. and ship from there? or ship from Canada? How should the buyer pay me? pay pal,etc? Can the buyer wire money across the border without hassle? How much does it cost to ship rims anyways? is it cheaper sending them from U.S. to U.S. or Canada to U.S. ?

i am sure i have left out many other minor but crucial details ....they are what I would like to know ....."have a nice day"

 

depends really where u order it from

got a friend who paid $800 cdn (after shipping and custom) for a set of rotas with tires

i still need to find out which site he got it from

p.s. he's from TO

very much a pain in the *** to ship across the border.
not to mention it is more expensive.

if you can avoid it, then avoid it.

rims are a bitch as well, if they are just wheels, no tires, you need to wrap them in cardboard or placve them in boxes.
wheels with tires can be strapped together in pairs, and cut a round piece of cardboard to cover the wheel face on each end of the pair.

good luck though bro, I've shipped wheels and wheels with tires before, its not cheap, and shipping across the border is a big pain.

 

cool thanx alot guys!

 

yeah you are right in Niagara Falls, just drive over the border and ship from the states. UPS / FedEx should have "location finders" on their website which can tell you where the closest one is and get directions from there so you arent driving around CRAPPY NF (the us side is garbage!) Hehe, I can say that my girl used to goto NU!

EDIT: Plus by going over the border you wont have to do customs, which will save the dude some money.

yes, definately go into NY to ship. You will save time, money and hassle. It's quite a bit more to ship across the border, as well as the length of time it takes once it gets to the border to get to it's destination. That is the easiest way.
