Default Corvette Central - Free shipping to Canada?

Wonder what ever happened to it? Last year their first one was Valentines Day then I think there was one at Easter and maybe Fathers Day?
Now nothing....
I have my list ready but am not waiting much longer.

They just had one that expired June 10th. I missed it as I was away. I still get their emails. Maybe check your spam or junk folder as sometimes legitimate emails go there.

Hopefully there will be another one soon!

That was for their 10% off. I keep my eyes open as well and have seen none for what seems close to a year. Always USA free shipping. I'm going to give my list to James at Northern Corvette in Niagara..

I will do free shipping for you guys on orders of $200 or more this month, excluding oversized freight orders obviously. I use corvette america because of past issues with central. Most items are the same, if it has to be from central I can accommodate if needed. Let me know what you guys need. Thanks

Seeing that you're in Trail, have you ever considered the Montana Shipping House? They specifically specialize in receiving shipments for Canadian's so you can take advantage of the lower 48 free shipping. It's so slick!! You get notification as soon as your order arrives, they catalog it and store it away for you.
They have a location in Eureka, so a nice little 4.5 hour drive to potentially save decently if you load up. They will receive vehicles too...

I use their Sweetgrass location all of the time and trust them completely. Their rates are dead cheap!! Last winter I had about $10,000.00 worth of parts sitting there (full exhaust, heads, wheels, tires, etc) for about 1.5 months and my fee was like $50.00 bucks. Everything was free shipping within the lower 48, so I had it all sent there and probably saved about 500-800 bucks given the robbery that takes place as soon as you mention shipping to Canada.
Best part, if everything is US made, you pay tax at the border and it's all yours....no duties or other BS import fees.

A very legit and professional outfit. Their warehouse is completely full of Canadian orders and on the weekend it is just a steady stream of folks traveling into the US for a 10 minute pit stop.

I think the "shipping to Canada" failure might be my fault. I have a "few" Corvettes and my order on their last deal was just over 110 items including big stuff like full welded C3 one piece exhaust, a couple of bumpers, steering boxes and some heavy things like wheels and other stuff. There were over 20 deliveries and I would bet the UPS shipping was almost the parts cost.

The free shipping is for the US only. It's 10% off for Canada which doesn't come close to covering UPS shipping....
You might want to read the fine print or check the bill.

That's a perfect type of order for that shipping house. I had a set of heads, full exhaust, camshaft, wheels and tires, tires for a 68, headers, intake, brake rotors, and whatever other odd and end I could tack on. I purchased from 6 or 7 different companies and literally everything was free shipping or close enough to free. It was all there within 2 weeks. I got notification for every receipt and they just stash it away waiting for you to come and claim your toys.

Meant to ask in my previous post, do you have a website of your product offerings? Or are you just sourcing from said companies and importing it? Thanks!

Tried the northerncorvette.com but it doesn't go anywhere. When I Google it, is shows that the domain is available for purchase.

Go daddy messed my website up, so I'm having it rebuilt with another provider. I have all years parts used, and lots of new. If I don't have it, I order most new stuff from Corvette America and import it and ship from Canada so no duty or border hassles.
