1. ship from Canada
what company has decent shipping rate? Canada Post? FedEx?

2. ship from US
what kind of trouble can I expect at the border?

thanks for help

Canada Post is the cheapest I found.. Though I'm not too sure about reliability.

Trouble would be custom/duty fees for the buyer.

for 2) Prepared to be raped by duty If you start buying a ton of stuff set up a broker account with A&A brokers they are the best!

Leave it all up to the purchaser. Can you ship COD? Or have then send you the cash once you find out the total?

Tough call-

bringing it down there cuts on duties and customs- since its being shipped from the same country... they will defininetly grill you at the border.

that hassle probably isnt worth it

Cost of shipping from Canada is probably less than the cost+hassle you'll have to go through if you cross the border.

It's not like the exhaust weighs that much

nope, but its also the size of the box that plays a big role in what the price will be.

But get a qoute- make sure buyer pays shipping and you dont have to worry about anything

i've shipped a single axle-back muffler before to the US and i think it cost me $60.

i don't even want to know how much it would cost if i had to ship the b-pipe as well...
