Need The Whole Site's Help!!

Post by **Canada** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 5:54 pm

Ok boys and girls.

Here's the deal, I bought a set of wheels/tires a long time ago (Early spring) from a guy on the .org, He was in MN and I had no way of picking them up, so a local member (Supertrick / Brodie) did me a HUGE favour and picked them up from the guy for me and has help onto them for me.

I need the wheels before winter, but I have no way of driving the 16+ hrs out each way to pick up the wheels anytime soon, as I can't afford to take the three days off work.

The only reasonable shipping method price wise is Greyhound, but they will not ship cross border. As well, Brodie is CRAZY busy with alot of personal stuff and doesn't have time to do it.

I need some ideas to get me my wheels soon. I was thinking maybe some kind of pass the wheels from member to member to get to me? Or if someone can suggest a good method, it would be greatly appreciated!

-Chris

Are the wheels still with supertrick in Duluth, and would he be willing to drive to t-bay. I have one guarenteed, a pretty firm second but not yet booked trip to thunder bay coming up. TBay is only a few hours drive outside of Duluth. If he can get them to me in T-bay I could see about forwarding them.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on the site in awhile. As Chris said, I've been busy with a lot of stuff lately. The Thunder Bay thing sounds like it would work, but I haven't been to Canada in MANY years. Do I need some kind of passport or something?

Mat00ES · Post by **Mat00ES** » Wed Sep 23, 2009 9:58 pm

yea you need a passport now.

fixitmattman · Post by **fixitmattman** » Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:14 pm

Canada to USA -> Passport needed
USA to Canada -> Still rock the drivers license and birth cert.

Tips and tools
Requirements to Enter Canada
Tell us why you would like to come to Canada and we will provide you with the requirements to enter Canada that apply to your personal situation.
When you enter Canada, a CBSA officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, a Certificate of Citizenship or Naturalization and photo identification. If you are a permanent resident of Canada or the United States, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card (the U.S. "green card") with you.

The big thing will be the importation of the rims and tires. You'll need the proper paperwork for that. And IMO I would at least break the beads on the tires before coming over in case the border guards decide to it for you.

But don't you need a passport to return to the States? That is my understanding. The problem isn't getting into Canada, it's getting back. Eh?

We squeeked by on our honeymoon. Didn't have to get the wife a passport, only need the birth cert.

RADARsx 2.0 · Post by **RADARsx 2.0** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 8:43 pm

So you still only need the photo ID and a birth certificate to get into the USA? even if your a Canadian trying to get in?

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 9:06 pm

I would assume a passport is needed. I went on my honeymoon back in May

If going by air... a passport is required.

If going by land... they will accept the enhanced drivers licence now available in Canada

Give me a price to pick them up from Brodie and meet me either in Sudbury, Ontario or Niagara Falls, NY.
