Ordering parts from US Corvette Central

[DOC M]

Has anyone experienced any surprises regarding brokerage fees or duties when ordering parts from Corvette Central?

I ordered some stuff a couple of years ago with no surprises.

Rather than just placing your order on-line you should send them a list of what you are looking to purchase.
They will respond to you with total cost to your house! No surprises.
You then place your order referencing your e-mail communications.
They are great that way.

I always have good service with CC. Most of my parts so far have come from there. They include brokerage in the shipping costs.

get your stuff shipped by

United States postal service ground to avoid brokerage fees. Jeff

Jeff it is a great idea but I have found a lot of American companies will not use the USPS. They don't seem, or perhaps care, of the added shipping costs for us. Never have anything shipped via UPS.

Correct. Jeff

Corvette Central uses UPS and has a special rate with them. Very reasonable shipping with duty and brokerage all included in the shipping price. I use CC for most of my orders when possible. Great quality parts and great people to deal with.

Good to know Ziggy. I had an order sheet filled out with them and then I saw the UPS only and cancelled it.

 

[SlyMart]

Yes I did. I ordered so many parts 2 years ago and I got slap with some high brokerage fees. I was so pissed...

One of the benefits of living in Windsor across the border from Michigan is the weather and you have U.S. suppliers ship to Detroit p.o. box. Then you bring it over yourself, usually duty free.

Our 77 cent dollar sure doesn't help.

I've ordered from CC with no issues. I've also ordered other parts from US suppliers and got hit with some very outrageous broker fees. Basically anything over $150 I order from CC. Seems most parts under $150 get little to no attention re brokerage or customs fees - at least from my experience around Toronto.

Eckler's, which is based out of Florida, has a pick up depot in Lockport N.Y., about 20-25 mins from Niagara Falls.
Orders placed thru Florida can be picked up there.

No, I haven't tried this yet, but I just recently received their C7 catalog, and noticed this on the shipping info page.

I have had good experience with CC. Ordered parts are usually delivered within 3 or 4 days. Even with shipping and other fees
I have found them to be less cost than Canadian suppliers parts only. no shipping or taxes.
