UK to Canada Shipping

[MCS]

Hello,
I want to purchase some LBC parts from the UK. What is the best way to get them cheaply to Canada. I have used Royal mail which I really like for inexpensive parts order but most UK companies will not send via Royal mail because they do not provide tracking. So that option is out. I have used both Fedex and UPS and they both rob you in brokerage fees. Somebody told me DHL was good. Any ideas, on shipping to Canada
Thanks Phil

don't you have a pilot friend flying to Heathrow?

someone recently told me - maybe Mark - that one of the companies includes the brokerage fees in their rates.

If you're really stumoed, PM me. I have a friend in Edinburgh and may combine an order and get her to ship it all

what you getting?

Hey JP
I am looking, just need to find the pilot with a big suitcase. If I wait two years I will be the guy.
Looking at frontline tube shock conversion for the front and the back.
Also looking at the rear frontline disk brake kit.
Crazy yes, but nothings to good for my LBC, even if it vibrates me crazy.
Cheers Phil

just remember if you need to bury me the receipt book goes with me, its the big white book.

I really think cremation is the way to go here - then there's no danger of anyone ever exhuming the evidence

Great idea JP.
I will post note myself.
I remember Mark did mention a shipping company that gave you a real price. If you are talking to him, can you ask him .
Thanks Phil

It depends on who you deal with in the UK, some will only ship to North America via UPS, which means broker fees, more so for you Canadians than us Yanks.
Mini Spares, Peter May and Moss Europe all ship UPS to us.

The brokerage fees are often more then the shipping, thats the problem with UPS and Fedex
