Hi All,

Wondering if anybody would be interested in heading down to Sweetgrass, MT to pick up a few car parts near the end of May.

I believe there is a holding warehouse down there where you can have your items shipped to within the states. The one I used to use charged $5 per package (Buffalo, NY).

I'm thinking about picking up a set of coilovers and having them shipped down there. However, costs would be reduced if I could get interest in a carpool.

Anyways, if anyone is interested, or planning a trip in the near future, let me know.

The Montana Shipping Outlet? I'm interested in possibly ordering some parts and having them shipped there if someone is going down there.

make sure you shop around locally before you head down. with the exchange rate so low, I have been having better luck getting parts in canada for the same price.

try messaging Rhys from revwerks and Steve at JRPonline. I actually got parts for cheaper from these guys compared to shipping to MT with american retailers.

All the shops I called quoted me the retailers price + duty + shipping + profit. I have another person who's interested to grab some parts, but won't be able to come down with me. I don't have any room in my car to grab and transport parts, so I was looking to car pool with people on the board.

Keep PM'ing me with interest/ if you want to carpool.

Damn I wish rotors weren't so pricey to ship haha it's almost as much as just buying locally.

I just made a trip down to MSO for two items and some cheap Bud bottles (my wife's request-happy wife=happy life!). Declared value of $60 and $450 that Canadian Customs converted into $C since neither receipt indicated $US or $C. Keep that in mind.
No duty on either item-only paid GST for both items plus a total of $9.50 handling fees from MSO. Paid duty on the beer since I was onlt there for an hour.
And filled up at the converted rate of $1.08 for mid grade.
