Order it now!

If anyone needs some heavy stuff, or anything for that matter, from Princess Auto. Online orders have free shipping and for extra heavy stuff they'll cover the first $100. Just ordered a transmission jack. a spot welder and 4 x 50lb bags of blasting media. Purolator to the door = $100.64 and once logged in to my account to check out it took the $100 off. Shipping a whopping 64 cents!..and it'll be off loaded from the Purolator truck right into my shop without me even putting a coat on!

II have use that option on several occasions since this Covid crap started
 
I haven’t checked yet but I’d just about bet the farm that it doesn’t apply to here. It could, though.
The most honourable shipping story to here actually concerns an American company.
I bought a folding tonneau cover for my Dakota from an American company. They offered free shipping. The price of the tonneau was a reasonable $800.00. Hmmm...
True their word they honoured the free shipping. Because it was an oversized package into this remote location shipping was $400.00 which they covered. Awesome folks. They never argued, quibbled or asked for more money. It just showed up, no drama.

Yes you would have to read the fine print for sure being way up there but it certainly works for us here on PEI never any free shipping from the states
 
Seen that also. But they ship UPS. Makes me kind of nervous to try out that "free shipping" Always been burnt with them(UPS). Never had any experiences with domestic shipping with UPS though.
 
Summit Racing says they have free shipping to Canada for orders over $300 US. I recently ordered $98 US worth of parts from private vendor in Georgia. By the time I paid for shipping, exchange on $, brokerage(UPS), and taxes, I had about $260 CAN. into these parts. I live about an hour away from US border at Port Huron, MI., where I have a parcel drop. Since the border is now closed to non commercial traffic, I can no longer use this. Picking up my stuff in MI. saved me brokerage charges, and quite often taxes.
 
Yeah, generally when they talk about free shipping TO Canada they mean Toronto, Vancouver, and areas about that far north. I understand why, so please don’t tell me.
When they talk about free shipping WITHIN Canada that generally applies to being below the 60th. parallel. Again, I understand why.
The furniture store The Brick used to offer free delivery anywhere in Alberta. But not The NWT. There’s an Alberta community that you can only access through The NWT. So it was common practice to order furniture, specify a fake address in that community, then just meet the truck on the road to get your furniture. It saved them the trouble of driving all the way to that community and saved us the freight cost.
 
Yeah just not right eh?
That's why it cost so so much to build and maintain a classic up here in The Great White North. Not to mention the heating and lighting bill that goes along with life. And don't get me going on the taxes! lol I need a drink! lol
