This has probably been discussed before but what is the best way to ship fenders, inner fenders, fender extensions, and a grill? I have a good deal on a whole clip of a truck but its all the way in Canada. I don't have much time to make a trek up there as much as I want to.

Any ideas?

 

Fly to where the parts are located, rent a truck, and drive home.

 

Where in Canada? And where do you live?

 

Are there any Fastenal stores in Canada?
If the parts are securely padded and wrapped, the do 3rd-party logistics and will move freight through their network of stores until it gets to the closest store near you. Then you go to the store and pick up your parts and pay at the time of delivery.
I've used this method for very large truck parts and can't say enough good things about it. They don't do engines, transmissions, gas tanks or anything like that. Dry parts only.

 

Hodgeville Saskatchewan. I live in Iowa but I don't mind driving around the Midwest to pick the parts up.

 

Put an add on Uship. Its been my experience that usually it makes the price of parts not worth it.

If you end up not buying the clip, send me a message as I know someone looking for one.

Im a little far away from there otherwise I would offer to help somehow.

 

So Fastenal will do a cross border shipment, really? I'll just watch and learn.

 

No. I tried to use them to ship wheels from the Toronto area to my local Fastenal with no success. They ship their retail supplies into their Canadian stores but don't do 3rd party shipments back across the border for Customs reasons. To avoid dealing with Customs, and avoid having to enter my SSAN on Customs paperwork, I drove to Toronto to pick up the wheels (thanks again Chad). Stu

 

I shipped fenders, extensions, grille, etc via Greyhound but I don't know if they operate in Canada. The parts were shipped separately (not as an assembled clip) and we just wrapped the parts in bubble wrap and lots of tape.

 

When I was looking to get something from the States......according to my local guy.......Greyhound will carry freight ...but, not across the Border!
