Simrad shipping

YYZRC

Trying to buy a Simrad plotter and they won't ship to Canada.  Also trying to avoid paying sales tax twice.

Thanks

If the border was open I’d bring it over.. Or meet you there.

I'm across the border from Oregon. If you can't find anyone else I can get you an address to ship it to and then send it to you, if that's what you're needing. 

YYZRC

Thanks @Aqua_Aura ! Will let you know. 

I actually think there’s a big business opportunity here but alas

Selling form the US to Canada or any other country is much easier said then done. There is a lot of weird laws to deal with. 

Yeah let me know if you want me to do it n

You guys are pretty brave to write online about tax evasion.  

Aqua_Aura

I don't think I would go that far as to call it tax evasion...more like tax avoidance.

Just be aware @YYZRC that there may be warranty registration issues should you succeed. Ran into this with electronic equipment brought back from Florida one year.

go on the canadian simrad site they should have a sales rep around your area if not i can give you my rep here in montreal from whom i ordered and it turned out cheaper than ordering from the states with the money exchange and the customs

If you could PM me your contact that would be great! Thanks!

I was also wondering about trying to buy from the U.S. with about 30% exchange right now. Unless you get a flaming deal. Radioworld is also a Simrad dealer and I've dealt with them on a few things over the years, always seemed fair, and very knowledgeable.

I feel your pain Canadians. Parts for my Volvo diesel's are much more available and more affordable in Europe. I have saved a lot of money buying my filters & belts, and some other parts from the UK. Amazingly enough I save 50 - 75% ordering from the UK vs US even after paying $30 in shipping and the unfavorable exchange. Stuff is on my doorstep in 1-5 days. Hopefully you can find a Simrad dealer up there....
