Default ???? Buying through Evolution Autosports ????

I am about to buy some Volk rims through Jeff and this is what I would like
to know some more about:

Has anybody bought anything through Jeff here in the Toronto area ????
and was it a big hassle getting it through customs and how much did you have to pay??
and how long did it take??.
Please let me know about your experience.

PM Beachbum. He knows of a vancouver based co that sells Volks for a seemingly reasonably cheap price...Id go this route over crossing the border all day long. Duty could be 50%.

Or you could call Mark Z at Tunerworks in Calgary. I got my Volks from him and would highly recommend.....

Stig,

I got my exhaust through Jeff at Evolution. There were absolutely no problem getting the product delivered directly to my door. Only thing to you have to pay is GST and PST on the item. UPS also charges for a brokerage fee. That is what you have to watch out for. I would suggest having Jeff give you a few options on the shipping to avoid such brokerage fees if at all possible. As for duty, did not pay a cent. Only our lovely GST and PST.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!!!!! you guys!!!
The brokerage fee and the GST and PST can really take the fun away and I'm afraid that it's going to be very expensive for me because first of all the rim's are NOT cheap!! I did talk to the guys in Calgary and they seem to be good about this too I have really enjoyed the communication between Jeff and my self because he is right on top of it!!! but in this case I have to go with the best price!!!

Nel..are you guys going on the Salamander this weekend????
I can't go because I will have to be at the airport all day.
