Getting Parts in or to Canada

[nothingbychance]

Any recommendations for a supplier? If there's a reliable one in Canada, I'd like to go with that, otherwise, any particular recommendations for the States? I get that Vick Auto and Autoricambi are both good peeps, but any comments on what shipping might add? Thanks.

I have & will always continue to recommend Auto Ricambi (they are the best) As far as how to get parts up here there are many options. I have found using USPS and marking packages as "antique auto parts" generally avoids custom fees. Using UPS or FEDEX etc will have you not only paying custom fees you will also have brokerage fees Some have had items delivered to the closest UPS store in the US then just cross border to pick up. Some local places will have parts or compatible parts for our cars like Canadian Tire, Part Source, Napa etc. Happy hunting

I concur...insist on US postal service (USPS) if you can. Far cheaper ands quicker.

Ive bought parts from spiderroadster.com before, they are out of Texas and I have had no issues with them.

AutoRicambi is awesome, as is Mark from Allison's Automotive. Both are top suppliers, with excellent service as well.

If you are rich or all the other vendors are out... International Auto.

Thank you, people. Looks like I'll ask AR for a quote. They're waiting for it. And the USPS recommendation is really helpful. I'm assuming AR knows to do that.
