I need to source a tail light for a 2021 Range Rover Autobiography Fifty. I found oempartsonline website and they seem to have the tail light but they don't ship internationally based on shipping policy. Are there any other sources where I can find the OEM part that will send to Canada? I know eBay is an option and will check that if nothing else is to be found.

Ship to Montana mailbox and use dyk post to get it back to your city.

Have you considered asking the dealer.

Sure you might save a couple dollars by playing telephone tag with a third party in Montana.

But what is your time worth for a part that is probably in stock today.

Yea I am just doing some research to see what is the best option. If the difference is nominal then it won't be worth it. Dealer quoted $1500 and I saw some on eBay for $500. But I want to compare new vs new and oem vs oem.

I would probably try calling an auto body shop that specializes in them

Step one should be figure out the part number.

Step 2 google that part number

Step 3 figure out what your time is worth to bother with the rigamarole of getting a single car part through customs

Actually a good idea would be to just trade it in and just build it into the next lease

I didn't really save doing the Montana PO Box route but maybe because my item value wasn't enough to change the tide?

The delivery fees were still a lot. It would've been easier to ship it directly to me. I'd only use DYKPost if they don't ship to Canada.

Have you tried RockAuto?

FCP Euro ships internationally. They are well known in the Volvo forums.

Oh for sure, it's not a cheap way to go, but it's a workaround for items that are hard to source.

It's almost 1:00, I'm sure shak has already traded the car in by now.

No worries, thanks for the offer. I believe this is what is needed:

Does it have to be new? If your okay with used, www.car-part.com if they have your model in a junkyard somewhere in Canada

Yeah, that was me. It was a flop. Didn't want to invest enough marketing into it when I was unemployed.

At least it familarized myself with Shopify and was my "in" to my current job...

GL, Shaka.
