free shipping....

i've ordered a TON of stuff online lately from american-based automotive webpages and for the most part everything is free shipping as long as it stays in the continental U.S.

there are lots of 'receiving companies' in american border towns that for a minimal free ($3-$5) will receive a box for you and then you just have to go pick it up. we're only a couple hours from orville washington so we just do a little day trip on a saturday.

i've also found that the prices are waaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than buying stuff in Canada (even after you pay any duty/taxes when bringing stuff back. also - if you can prove your stuff was manufactured in the US or Mexico you still have to pay the HST/PST/GST, but there is no duty... thanks NAFTA!)

my neighbour bought new rims/tires for his truck last summer. he priced out the exact same product in Canada and was able to save over $1000 buying them out of the states! (after duty/taxes/travel)
