Shipping an ATV from US to Canada

[lutrev]

I tried the search, and found many references to buying in the US and bringing it back yourself,but none were a person had it shipped. I did this several years ago, but the seller took care of the broker, and used JC motors for shipping.

Anyone use a brokerage in Edmonton for this, Its to bring a Honda FL400 Pilot across from Illiniose to Edmonton. Thanks

I have not shipped a motorbike from the US but many other items before. Brokerage fees are outragous Like 40% of the total value of the item plus the shipping costs.

used a broker out of calgary for some chemicals. only cost us $100 for $3000.

call an actual brokerage firm, quite often they have stuff coming up that will keep your costs fown.

Just got a quote for fees from a broker, 333.00 for fees, then the GST,etc same as what you would pay at the border. Shipping from Illinois is 1048.00, so I think this is very reasonable. I will update after I get everything done for others reference.

Do you need it now, that is like 1500.00 crazy. That would not cost you that to go get it. I am going east this summer to get a snowmobile and can get yours for alot less then that, just waiting to buy a few things to make it worth my while. Pm me if you are interested. Thanks

To be clear, my experience with outragous brokerage fees are from UPS delivery from the US.

I bought mine on ebay 2 years ago for $4,600 US from Sketch Motorsports in Ohio. The total shipping cost to a warehouse iin Calgary was about $1,200 CDN, which included all shipping, duty, broker costs etc. I can find out who the broker was if you're interested. They were really good to deal with, and I didn't think that was expensive. I can't remember the broker name, but the fellas at Sketch would know if you're interested in using the same broker

Yes,definately interested in what broker you used. 1200.00 from ohio seems reasonable. And for the other replies, I work fairly steady, and cannot justify driving that far to pickup a machine

I am looking at early July for pickup, If this fits yours,or anyone elses schedule,let me know. I understand the forms from reading them,So would you have to apply at the border on your way in, then its fairly smooth on your way back?
