Challenger CONVERTIBLE interior panels...

[Rich G.]

So what are the panels worth that are worn with no holes cut out?

Well, I'm paying 275 with a bonus of some red interior parts.  I figure the shipping is the cost of the other interior parts. 

Finding these rear panels is very difficult.  Unless you are in the correct circles I assume, of which I am not.
So when someone has them for sale they can pretty much ask what they want for them.  All kinda depends on how bad you need a set. 

I don't have a vert.  But I sure long for a vert with a red interior.  So I guess I'm just parts hoarding with these hoping for the day a vert with a red interior falls in my lap.  And, I'm actually looking for cuda panels, but at least these offer a trade of equal value.

@YYZ....Vlad thanks,... all very informative information.

Interesting that Canada Post shipping does not involve brokerage yet all the courier
services do.

A good read here on avoiding paying duty for items valued $800.00 and less.

@mccannix I believe because postal services (USPS, Canada Post etc.) are usually federally regulated and are treated as 'essential infrastructure', customs brokerage is not usually treated as a profit centre.

That's why Canada Post charges a flat $5 (might be a bit more now) to enter a package and collect the taxes from you, as compared to UPS which might charge you 110% of the item value, plus 13% HST on top of that.

There are some funny loopholes in using the courier companies though. 

For example, for air shipments (overnight or 2 day), FedEx and UPS often include the brokerage in the shipping fee, meaning you just pay the HST when the package arrives.  So believe it or not, it can actually be cheaper to courier something overnight than to go with a slower service.

That said, UPS continues to play games with non-disclosure of terms, and will do things like 'we will include brokerage for the first 3 SKUs in the shipment, after that it's $10/SKU'.  Just went through that a few months ago with a shipment of capacitors and resistors for tube amplifiers.

Good post on the $800 threshold for things going into the US.
