Title: best place to ship international truck freight.
Post by: raf2379 on November 19, 2011, 06:47:43 AM: I'm just about to order up a set of tires and wheels which will be shipped international truck freight from 4wheelparts.com I dont want to ship to the border as its a pain in my arse to go and get it especially when i'm on a rotation at work. Not to mention it will cost me at least a tank of fuel to drive down there and back plus storage fees. I would rather just have it shipped to Calgary as shipping wont be much more than what its going to cost me to drive down there. would they deliver international truck freight to a house? or is there a place in Calgary I could ship to. I'm sure duty and fee will have to be paid once delivered.

anyone had anything shipped freight to their house?

http://www.ntwonline.com/

or

http://www.4wheelparts.com

depending who has it in stock and how long for backorder if it comes down to that. Ive decided the 36" IROK's are not big enough for my axles lol, so i'm going with the 39.5" IROK's. its Immortal's fault
