Default Has anyone shipped an exhaust system bought privately?

From the US? Obviously the headers and catback will be split and packed separately, but who are the shipping options? Thanks lindsay

Might be best to ship via greyhound for very large packages? They probably have the best rates from what I hear.

Someone else can chime in who has shipped something similar.

I had my Corsas shipped from a member here in the U.S. on UPS. The one thing to make sure of is that they only use 1 waybill for both cartons.
Took about a week or so.

I sent a Magnaflow system for a Dodge Magnum from Alberta to Michigan for $130 by Purolator last year.

And since you are making a private purchase have the seller declare a very lower value(say a couple of hundred dollars) so as to save on duties.. this will help out immenseley.

Sent corsa catback from to to alberta purolator about $70 or so to the us will cost more. If your shipping from us to here? Send it to CBI and go pick it up in buffalo. You'll save the $70 in brokerage for sure.

The OP lives in Edmonton. Going to Buffalo might be a stretch to save $70.00

I had a Genuine Corvette Accessories axle back exhaust (looks the same as a Borla exhaust system) shipped in a private sale last fall. As I recall the person shipped it by USPS ground. Cost was about $150.

I had a set of headers and x pipe shipped from Texas to Edmonton. seller managed to jam it into one box. I think it was about $160 for shipping. it looked like hell when it got here but all the pieces are there and it doesn't seem anything was damaged. I'll let you know if its damaged after I install

pm me if you want details about brokerage and duty
