Default Advice for parts in Canada

Looks like I'm getting nowhere with sourcing a few used engine parts (cooling fan, shims, etc.).

Any suggestions for parts other than my friendly local Porsche dealer, Pelican, Sunset, or GetPorscheParts?

Shipping to Canada can be the dealbreaker, with some suppliers being unclear on duties/tariffs.

Any advice is appreciated!

I found myself on eBay sourcing parts. Used Pelican as well. Pelican actually is taking significantly longer to get the parts here than the eBay stuff I ordered. Other than that, not really many options I've found sadly

Where in Canada? I’m in Vancouver so I get stuff shipped to a mailbox depot just across the border in Blaine Washington. Shipping within US is quick, cheap and sometime free (Pelican, then I’ll drive over and pick up. The mailbox service only charges a few dollars and the duties are usually waived if the items are a less than $250. I recently saved a bunch between shipping, duties and exchange when I got my Recaros from tdot performance in Ontario. Good luck!

I agree with Rtz. I live an hour from the US border and Pelican ships the parts (often for free) to the border. I have never been charged duty, only the HST and no brokerage fees.
