TireRack Canadian Shipping

Hi, TireRack's website says UPS Standard (Which really screws canadians in fees) Someone told me despite this TireRack actually sends Fedex???

Is this true?

If you don't make a specific request, they will use UPS. When I bought my rim/tire package from TireRack, I made a request to NOT use UPS or I'd just buy locally. They used FedEx.

Sorry Wing,to your post,but I'm asking,because I can get some Wheels (Not from Tire rack) for $1720.00 U.S. shipped,and I can get the same locally,for $2500.00 CDN.tax in.
Wich would be cheaper,if you take into account,$ exchange+duty+taxes+brokerage???(by Fedex)added to the $1720.00

GST ............................ 58.92
Brokerage fees ............ 52.75 (+ 3.69 GST on this)
Disbursement fees ....... 5.75 (+0.40 GST on this)
