the reaper Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I am wondering where all the Canadian banshee owners are buy there aftermarket parts from??... I just bought a banshee 2 days ago and looking for aftermarket parts to buy without ordering from the USA... Only place I can find is royal distributing or order threw a yamaha dealer at an extra price.... Thanks Quote
the reaper Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 Or is it cheaper to just order from the US? Quote
sangheraent Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 im from canada eh. I live 1km from the border so i just have a po box down there so I have a us shipping adress. I would recommend that if your within an hour or so drive and just order a ton of stuff and grab it once in a while. its cheaper to buy stuff from the us and MAKE DAMN SURE THE SHIP USPS, NOT UPS NOT FEDEX. you will get crushed with brokrage fees with ups or fedex. the best deals are on the bhq.

the reaper Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 thanks, not close to the border.. Ya that's what I'm trying to avoid is all those fees and dollar exchange... It's not much of a savings when it's all added up... Or is it?... Quote
SheezFast02 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I've done dealings with a few of our site sponsor with only good results. I really like to deal with FAST Racing and Alfie's Toybox. I'd rather buy my Banshee parts from dealers who know their stuff and are great to deal with, such as the two I previously mentioned, than buy anything from a local shop where the guys selling the parts don't know anything. Do yourself a favor and buy from site sponsors! sangheraent, where abouts are you located? You're not close the the 1000 Islands border in Ontario, are you? I'm about 3K from there. That would be quite a coincidence. Quote
the reaper Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 Main point for me like with anyone else is about getting the best deal... And wondering if ordering from the US will get me the best deal after the duty fees, shipping ect. are added to the total.. Lol but think I said that a few times now Quote
beebs Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I have always found ordering from the US to be the best price and service wise. Obviously it would be nice to shop where you are from but when you can get stuff cheaper, faster, and knowledge about the products you won't find here, it dosen't make sence to not shop US. Always excelent service from site sponsers. Quote
05colorado Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Im in Sudbury On and bought almost everything from the US on my bike. I try and find deals on Kijiji for some parts as well. Only things I'll get from royal are genaric stuff, IE bars, tires, gaskets and oil. All my performance or hard parts come off here, fleabay or site sponcers. I'll say it again as it was said above. SHIP USPS. Its slower but your bypassing the broakerage fees. Also the duty you pay is what you pay in tax in canada anyways so no extra cost there. Quote
the reaper Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Posted March 21, 2011 Sudbury eh.. Same here and I can't seem to find anyone who sells aftermarket around here tried royal, sudbury cycle and marine and no luck... Quote
the reaper Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Posted March 21, 2011 Have any parts to sell of interest to me? In Sudbury Quote
shee2010 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 i am in australia and i find it is cheaper to buy my parts from the states, even with shipping (fkn exxy!!) it still works out cheaper than buying the gear locally, we get ripped off over here though, eg; i needed a new tank for my 01 banshee, locally the con artists wanted 120 bucks for a second hand one (without a petcock ffs!) i bought on on egay from a seller in the us for $14 with petcock. shipping was $60 but still worked out better. Quote
the reaper Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 Ya same deal with us canadians... Prices are higher canadian side and right now our dollar is hoovering around the same as the US dollar right now Quote
05colorado Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Sudbury eh.. Same here and I can't seem to find anyone who sells aftermarket around here tried royal, sudbury cycle and marine and no luck... What kind of parts you looking for? I dont have a lot of spare aftermarket stuff but some. Last weekend bought a parts bansh thats got some leftovers. Stock Carbs w/tors removed, bills head pipes that have like 4 rides on them from new. I have a bunch of stock parts ide like to get rid of though. If you ever break something and want a stock replacement hit me up with a PM. My brother and I both have banshees so we keep a ton of parts on hand. Quote
midlifecrisis Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 X2, Im cheap, so I always try to find the best deal. I buy all sorts of stuff from the states and its always cheaper, unless a courier is used. Stay away from couriers, and your parts will always be cheaper for the states. Quote
sangheraent Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Im from Abbotsford BC Canada. literally on the border. as long as you dont ship with ups or fedex your going to be ok. I had a subwoofer shipped to my house with ups once and had to pay the guy $40 at my door. It would have been cheaper to buy it retail with a warranty. USPS=No brokrage fees. and if you tell the person to ship it as a gift then no tax either. Quote
