That said, I've used CrossBorderPickups.ca a few times now when buying goods from the US, and it's worked out very well. The package is shipped to a US address, so you can take advantage of the typical free shipping within the US. CBP will then bring it into Canada and you pick it up from their Mississauga or Markham locations (obviously one of those locations has to be convenient for you). They charge a relatively small fee by weight for the service. For example, a 30lb package costs $15. They also collect the tax. It's far, far cheaper than shipping by UPS or FedEx, where you not only pay a very high cost for shipping, but then get hit with brokerage fees on top of that.
In any case, when buying from the US, there's always the risk that you won't be happy with the product, in which case shipping back can be very costly. So keep that in mind if buying cheap body parts that may not fit well.

100%! Cross border pick ups is far and beyond our best option when ordering from US vendors.
I think the dealer is the best option here unless I can buy a take off from someone. I bought a part from zl1addons that is installed into the splitter so I definitely need a new one.
Happened in such a stupid way, leaving a steep underground lot in Toronto just took it so slow and heard the crunch, top section exploded probably due to being absolutely frozen against the concrete hitting at the right angle!
I was just excited to still be driving the car all December guess it's karma for extending the season
