got my racing brake rotors the other day , when i called ups for the status of my package + price for shipping ,taxes , brokerage ,etc ,, i thought ups was charging me too much, he then explained that the rotors are made in taiwan , this is why it is more expensive ,, more taxes & brokerage fee's apply, i thought these are made in the us or did he b/s me ,, any comments guys, because i feel like calling ups back if this is not true.....

 

when you bought them, didn't they tell you the total charges then? I've got things from China before and no customs, brokerage or any of that crap. Sounds kind of fishy

 

dc

Did you buy direct fromMr Heel Toe?

The RB are made in the USA with a warehouse in New Jersey, but since you are in CANADA- there would be customs imports fees coming from the USA- and the GST is what 10% for you and anything else customs shoves on you.
UPS gave you the standard story.
Marcus usually charges additional 25 usd for canada shipping to cover all those things

Give him a call 1-949-295-1668

 

the brokerage charges to Canada are ridiculous, I bought ROTORA front and rear pads from EXCELERATE which is fine, he sent them UPS and for a $220USD package I paid $47CAD for brokerage and customs fees after paying extra shipping to EXCELERATE, I don't think the origin of manufacture is the extra cost, just brokerage and customs fees from the US to Canada thru FedEx and UPS are out of control. I've had a lot of packages from the US and always have to pay extra when it gets to my door.

 

Think its only thru the express carriers?

Thats why even the postal service makes you fill out a value of contents declaration!

Over $100- expect some taxes and fees

Smile and say thank you Prime Minister

 

thankz guys for your reply's here is what i paid for shipping ,taxes , brokerage,etc paid racingbrake $45 us for shipping + i paid another $112 cdn to ups to get them here , i have to say -- ouch$$$$$$$..

 

The good news in this is the lifespan of the Racing Brake rotors.

You will go thru 2 sets of pads before replacement needed- with no shimmy problems.

When you add the labor of removng everything just to resurface the rotors at first pad change like most rotors- you have actually come out ahead.
I know it hurts now- but the pain will quickly fade-
though your brakes never will!

i work on my car myself, my recent car was a buick grand national that i built into a 568 rear wheel horsepower every day street car which ran mid 10's 1/4 mile, so the labour to me is free since i do all the installs , i guess what i'm trying to say is you US guys are lucky when it comes to performance parts..
