Is 53 the shipping cost? And was it fedex standard, ground, or express? If it was standard/ground. I wouldnt be surprised if it was around $80-100..

UPS is a joke

Ups and fedex are both jokes.

Below is from the fedex website. Thats just the clearance fee! The clearance entry fee covers these processes and is billed along with duties and taxes.



Clearance Entry Fee Options

Take advantage of lower clearance entry fees (CEF)* when you use the FedEx International Ground brokerage-inclusive option. As your broker, we arrange for clearance services, check the Commercial Invoice and complete entry preparation procedures required by the U.S. or Canada. These procedures can include the calculation of applicable duties and taxes for each type of commodity included in the shipment. The clearance entry fee covers these processes and is billed along with duties and taxes.

You have the flexibility to bill the duties, taxes and CEF to the shipper, recipient or a third party. If the shipper or a third party is not selected, the duties, taxes and CEF will automatically be billed to the recipient.

 Says on the order - $53 is Fed-ex International Economy.

So from the chart you supplied Mike it looks like my total bill of $333.00 U.S. gets converted into Canadian money and that

becomes $442.00 Canadian including the Fedex Shipping charge....so there would be an additional $45.35 plus GST. to contend with.

 Correct. But they also might tack on another fee as well. Duty fee too, whatever that would be... in the above it says thats just the clearance fee, plus additional taxes and duties apply too....

To add, Heres a duty and tax calculator as well. So that, plus the clearance fee, I would assume is what you are looking at approximately paying...

 SO I did the calculator and that came to $49.95......so it looks like I

have to pay $50.00 duty and GST plus the 45.00 Fedex clearance fee......$100.00 over the total shipping cost.....

Seems the rip off here is the $45.00 Fedex clearance cost.

 Seems about accurate... lets wait and see when you get the package. Keep us updated, if that was the amount paid around or if it differed a lot..

i just know that with either fedex ground or UPS. Theres a lot of fees tacked on...

 I haven't ordered it,but I think I have to bite the bullet and do it.....

All final parts I need for the 4 speed conversion, console plate, shifter arm, reverse switch,all stuff to make the conversion look factory.

You don't state in your bio where exactly you live but this may be another one of those cases where the use of a mailbox just across the border could be of financial benefit.

When I deal with anyone besides Summit I have stuff sent to a Parcel Service just south of the border and run down to pick it up. Just pay taxes at the border and once in a while if the value of goods is less than $300 they just wave me through.

Summit avoids the brokerage fee and some of the tax somehow, with Fed-Ex, shipping from Ontario. Not worth the hassle to go south to pick it up!

A little off topic but Ebay is now charging taxes no matter what state you order from. We then pay taxes on those taxes. Canadian government removed paying taxes on shipping a number of years back, hope they do the same thing here on the US taxes

Well I placed the order and I'll $ee what happen$ when it arrive$ at my door.......

The $333.61 U.S. bill including shipping turned out costing (just on the exchange)......$458.00 Canadian  (ouch!)

I'll let everyone know what this financial adventure will cost me in the end......but hey, I'll have my parts...Whoo-hoo!

Auto parts from the US are not subject to any Canadian duty
