Potentially Looking for a little help from my Neighbours to the South!

AJ USA has the Edelbrock Vortec performer RPM intake on clearance currently for $200USD. Only trouble is they want $130 for shipping?? Doesn't make any sense, but on the off chance I'm hoping someone might want to help a Canuck out and inconvenience their life for a couple hours to get one of the intakes shipped to them and then ship to me? if that makes sense.

link to the item is here http://www.ajusa.com/details/index/690/EDE/0/EDE+71164.

Any honest takers!

Cheers!

Hey,

I got my performer rpm air gap for JB's power center 5 minutes from west edmonton mall for like 225.00, check them out if you haven't... their prices are very good for being in edmonton..

i figured I'd give this one a try just because it has the edura finish, or whatever Edelbrock calls it, and it would be roughly the same price of the standard finish. If it doesn't work out I'll just go to JB's or Mopac.

I'm all the way over on the West Coast. prolly not too beneficial to you. But if you do have someone ship you a manifold... make sure they use the US Post Office, and NOT UPS... US Mail will not incurr all the tarrifs and other duty charges that UPS charges.

I've done it for some of my buds up in Kelowna, and Burnaby BC

yep USPS is definately the easiest on the pocket book. There shouldn't be any duty or brokerage for these, as they are made in the USA.

I don't think it makes much of a difference whether you are located in Texas or Idaho to ship to Canada.

i asked the guy at AJ to recheck his shipping quote because i was just quoted $60 for an aluminum rad w/ electric fans, so I don't know why it would be $130 for shipping an intake??
