I used to have a lot of parts shipped to a P. O. box in Niagara Falls NY, a little over an hour away. Lately I try and order as much as possible from Summit using their free shipping.

I use a box on the U.S. side. It' so much easier, faster and cheaper.
Thank you,Qkcuda I see a lot of people by their parts from Summit. The biggest problem as you know is the shipping , I need a driveshaft, radiator., And a few other small things. What always scares me. If you get the wrong part shipped sending it back and have to pay for shipping all over again. I was in the automotive trade for 16 years in the 80s, I was reliant on the post office, and the bus, I was also a bus depot, there was always parts that were dropped off. At the wrong depot.
Hey run charger, are you saying there is not a place in Eastern Ontario, Toronto ,Hamilton that you can’t find Mopar parts suppliers, in that populous part of our country.

No: I'm in Vernon B.C. I used to order all I could from National Moparts in Ontario but if I need something fast I have it shipped to Wa. state and drive down and get it. Cheaper and faster when I need something fast.

When I was searching for a charger back in 2011-2012 I drove to rainy Lake to look at a 69 440 6 pac car 4 spd. They had the body done in b5 blue , but everything else was in boxes.

I’m on the west side of Canada and I usually just send it to a receiver just across the border in Montana. Easier, cheaper, no brokerage bs etc.
There is a local s supplier that makes an effort to stock some items and if I’m in a hurry I will on occasion by local, but not often

As mentioned above, I've also ordered mopar parts from National Moparts National Mo-Parts – Est. 1987 in Beaverton Ontario. I've also bought allot of parts from Summit. I always crunch the numbers between them to see which is better. I have a US mailbox about 45 minutes away (Niagara Falls, NY) so I'd either have them ship directly to me in Ontario or to the US mailbox (depending on final price). At the time, Summit didn't have any shipping deals for Canada. I've never had any issues with returns either, they always took care of the shipping. BTW, I bought a custom Strange driveshaft off of Summit. Its drop shipped straight from Strange. Was quick and painless.
