Buying from ECS Tuning.

[Benfica777]

Hey everyone.
I dont buy things online. I am, however looking into buying some things from ECS Tuning.
I was wondering if anyone from ONT has dealt with them before. How was the experience, how much extra did you pay in duty.

Thanks

Actually i just bought something last week and i live in whitby, on. The first time i ordered i got taxed like 40% it was ridiculous and that wAs with standard shipping, but last week i got the 2 day, no dutie chArges, no taxes, its a little more pricey but totally worth it. (Y)

I've got absolutely raped by them on duty I paid $378 I believe on my KW v1 ($1400 item) and with that purchase I got a free $100 gift card which I used to buy racing dash LEDs ($67 item) I paid $44 duty...

their cansave shipping is insane. Shipping USPS usually works for me when shipping from other companies but they conveniently dont offer a tracking number if you order via usps from ecs.

Really? How much was the order Worth?

ECS has it's ups and downs, generally good and I have always had positive problem resolutions. You always have to be an informed consumer.
Always ship to US address, most boarder crossings have a UPS store that will receive items. My store in Ogdensburg NY is always heaped with wheels and tires, its like Christmas when I go there.
I always compare with local venders, when they are close I go local.

And you call that a win...

[biggyk]

Hmm not sure about that one.

[dimsum]

Have you tried MJM Autohaus?

I usually deal local though, local sponsors/vendors are pretty good.

You think ECS is bad now, should've seen it when they didn't offer USPS shipping.

And UPS just sucks donkey balls.

Yes MJM has good Prices, better than ECS. But ECS has tons of Varity.

As for shipping i just have my Parts shipped from ECS to USADDRESS aross the Border and go pick it up.

Agreed. ECS and UPS both suck donkey's balls.

ECS itself is fine... its just UPS that fails hard

Truthfully this would be a better title for this thread.

Check out Euroline Performance as they are one of main dealers in Canada.

Crappy website tho

Seriously. If a US webstore is going to make a Canadian shop a dealer, shouldn't they at least attempt to have a webstore too? Unfortunately the internet has made most people lazy and antisocial, and calling and dealing with real people is usually too much work.

i buy quiet a few things for my current and previous car, for candians they have something called Canada-Ease Shipping wich means it covers your duty charges so the UPS guy doesnt ask for money when he comes to your door
good site i still use it and alwasy on it

Cana-ease. What a JOKE!

Shipping makes it totally unfeasible to order and ship to Canada. $25 shipping for a $12 item.



UPDATE. $25 was standard shipping. Cana-Ease was $52.65

Yet again - we can not control taxes, duties, tariffs, and are not from ECS they are waged from each individual's country. You can also use one of our many distributors or freight forwarder for more options! PM me so I can get you set up with the closest distributor to you! Please plan ahead and order accordingly by adding items or kits (service kit) that you know you will need to smaller orders to off set the shipping cost.
