[kneedeepinsaws]

Well for us folks in canadaland there is only one decent option for shipping at hlsupply.
Ill share what i found

28$fedex priority

2 business day delivery


This is my 4th order like this.
First order a couple months back was 2 days

second order was a part missing from the first order, that came in 2 days in an envelope no charge

third order I placed Was on a friday, got it monday morning

fourth order was placed on sunday this weekend, arrival estimate is tomorrow morning

def not the cheapest shipping, but for us guys and gals up here our options are limited. At least its fast as hell

Bringing anything up here from the US is too pricy to make it worthwhile especially using any of the courier companies, they charge a hefty brokerage charge on the total one pays for the product including taxes, just about doubles the original cost of product then add in the difference between exchange rates...

I agree, that's very true. I'm always up for buying parts locally first or even in Canada before buying out of the US. Sadly my local Stihl and Husqvarna dealers still charge more for the same parts even when you factor in taxes, exchange rate and shipping from the US. Plus most of the time I need to bring in the part number I'm looking for because they can't be bothered to look it up in their system. And I don't have to wait a month and a half to get, for example, a clutch drum. Or get quoted $850 plus tax for a new 555 case.

There are always trade off`s of course, one just needs to find a good dealer.
