Oredring parts from US into Canada…my finding need your input

[audimontreal]

2005 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T
MJM Autohaus.com

Front ATE Slotted rotors + Front Hawks HPS pads: US$ 199.95
Rear ATE solid rotors + Rear Wawks HPS pads: US$ 114.95
Shipping USPS (60lbs). US$ 126.00
Total US$ 534.00


I like USPS as there are no hidden extra charges/brokerage fees like FedEx & UPS
Local Montreal Audi dealer quoted me $1,300
I figured for 50% less money including labour; I would have better quality parts & performance!

Would you happen to know any other Canadian or US based dealer who sells ATE & Hawks HPS for less or simply go with this one

Thanks

Sounds reasonable to me. I've ordered from MJM before. I got my B6 S4 rotors from www.namotorsports.net. Looks like they have similar pricing, but you have to contact them for a shipping quote outside of the U.S. (U.S. shipping is free).

Where in Montreal are you? Have it shipped to a parcel service, drive accross boarder and pick them up. Should be tons of them out there. Thats what I do. The baorder is one hour from my house, so 2 hours there and back saves me hundreds.

I live/work in Montreal (Saint-Laurent/West Island) so driving to the borders is feasable but would rather have them shipped really. Some ship to confirmed addresses only and would not ship to your typical US based UPS store.
I know Canadian Tires do sell ATE rotors for double the price!
http://www.autopartsway.ca/ do not carry them either

Just wanted to validate before pulling the trigger

Where I go is Menke's Parcel Service, not a UPS store. It's meant for Canadians to come pick up there parts that are shipped in the USA.

I would check this out to save you a few hundred.

I do the same but mine is only 8kms form my front door! Im getting my nexus pass today too to speed up the process. You do still have to pay tax though, which in reality is alooooot cheaper than paying to have it shipped across

We do what we can and save $
One thing for sure though we officially get scalped here in O Canadaaaaaaaa

how much is your time worth to you?
& how long of a drive is it across the border?
i'm a cheap ass so, to save a couple hundred dollars, i'd rather spend half of my day off driving to buffalo & back.
mind you, the money i saved on shipping, duty & brokerage would end up being spent @ an outlet store anyways!

On a Saturday, it's free.

They are so close, I drive across the boarder for half a mile and I am at the first town Neche. At everytown accros the boarder here (three boarder crossings) we have a parcel service. Each are only half to one mile away from the boarder.

I wouldn't go more than 200km's each way, due to the fact of maintenance, tires, time, and gas.

Oh and its nice to go acrossand gas up for 90 cents/l as opposed to 118 here

It's less than that down in the USA. Costs me about .84 cents/l at 94octane :D
