Re: Shops in Buffalo ?

Hey I was wondering if anyone has been using any shops down in buffalo or surrounding to get stuff for their cars.

Since the dollar is up I was wondering if I went over to buffalo if I could get a better deal on m5 rims..

It doesn't have to be Buffalo that you actually buy stuff from. Buy it anywhere in the U.S. and get it shipped here http://www.usaddressinc.com/ in Buffalo and then go down and pick them up. It's super cheap.

I use www.cbiusa.com but pretty much the same thing. You can ship whatever you want rims/tires, even bodykit. Just 15mins across the border and they'll hold it for weeks/months if you need to.

You dont.

You tell the border guard exactly what you have and hope for the best.

Others can chime in and tell you what happens if you get caught and blacklisted. Its not worth it.

Sometimes you'll get taxed, sometimes you won't. If you do, you just pay 13% (GST, PST). Thats what I have experienced. We buy stuff in the USA ALL the time, and save alot of $, even after all expenses/taxes. You save the most on tires.
