Just picked up a few goodies from the Post Office to offer to tease a few C-gen friends when meeting up in Alberta this year;
Priced getting just one 2021 Brochure from the USA with exchange, gst and $9.95 admin fee from Canada Post (a hit & miss thing), it came out to CAN$60-$65 ...
so I bulk ordered to bring the average cost down.
I got 4-2020 and 4-2021 extra to perhaps save some the hassle and extra cost of ordering just one.
Brochures are not made in hardcopy form for Canada so there are no Dealership freebees I am told 💰...
these are real sweet brochures I must say 👌🏻🙂

Hi. I appreciate your question & interest.

I have 4-2020 & 4-2021 brochures available for pickup in YYC
and for those I am able to meet up with in Alberta this Summer.
I got assessed GST & a nuisance CanPost fee on this shipment ...
making the per-brochure acquisition cost a bit more.

If adding another shipping cost to them, it would result with a price to at least $60.
Although I originally intended to offer them up in the CCF "For Sale" Section,
I will avoid the potential for a "cheaper from the USA" result.

I speculate that this is part-perhaps reasoning as to why the GM Dealer Rep
selling these brochures in Ontario had them available for pickup only.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. my new C8 just arrived at dealer. Haven’t picked it up yet but certainly excited.
so it would be nice to have the 2021 brochure. I am new to the forum and not clear how to communicate with numbers/emails while keeping info private.
I would to get the 2021 brochure and I can Etransfer to you the amount and cost of shipping to Richmond Hill. How can I contact you directly?
thanks

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to print the .pdf?

Simple answer of course is YES.

I must add to each their own though ...
we each do whatever floats the boat.
OCD (obsessive corvette disorder) brings
various needs and wants and comes in many forms ...
having a hard copy brochure versus the “virtual copy” are two options.
It is honestly not always about the cost for a few hardcore C-Gen fellas
and is part why I took 100% of the risk to bring a few extra copies in
just for the old school to be able to smile with the way it all used to be.

all good either way :thumbs:
