$150 for shipping coilovers?

[LAYZORBEEMZ]

Okay, I met this guy on craigslist from New Jersey that has a set of JIC magic SF1 coilovers he's selling for $550USD. I'm from Vancouver,British Columbia, canada... Do you guys think that it'd take $150 to ship coilovers basically accross the country?

i would think like 80 at the most idk though i never shipped to canada

I've shipped 4 shocks/struts/springs from FL to Cali for $70 with UPS before..

^With that i would say that 150 might be right going out of country.

That's about twice what it should cost. When it comes to Craigslist, if I cannot deal locally, I don't do it.

I doubt you'll ever see anything for your money.

Yeah they do say that offers to ship are always 100% fraudulent on their website. Now I don't know about 100% but if you follow that statistic you'll never get burned with a shipped item.

I don't condone buying through CL and having items shipped. However, for anything like that, there's always Priority Mail flat rate boxes. If it fits, it ships! LOL.

Know anyone back east?? Get this guy to drop them off at someones house. Or maybe find a forum member whos near the guy and could pick them up for you

That's what I would suggest. If there's someone local to the seller (there should be, there are quite a few members on this forum that live in NJ) they should be able to pick them up for you and ship them for you.

The guy may have been taking a wild guess, but as Mike and shaeff said, I wouldn't be comfortable shipping something through Craigslist.
Hell, it's even shady picking stuff up half the time...

150 sounds right from NJ to BC
