    Getting US parts for my Mirages

    I forgot I had a shipping address in Niagara Falls, NY. I hadn't used it in several years. It's with CBI on Military Road.
    There are a little pricey, I think it's about $6US/package. The annual plan is >$100US and they still charge $1.80US/package.

    I stumbled on a place called 247parcel, also located in Niagara, NY. Their rate is $3US <35lbs. They are just across the border, I could walk over and back on a nice day. I'm leaning to these guys as they have more flexibility for pickup if you prepay, and they are cheaper.

    Have any of the Canadians here used either of these services? Which do you prefer and why?

    Try the online store Mitsubishi parts now.com. I haven't ordered anything on it myself, but I think they ship to Canada (with a surcharge I'm sure). I know lots of people who pop over to Port Huron to pick up car and truck parts all the time.

    It has to be worth it; 25% cheaper in the USA is only at par price wise, right? The deal has to be like half the price firstly. Though any visit to the USA is worth it for the cherry 7-up

    If I travel to Canada and get hurt will they treat me and not charge me tens of thousands of dollars like they do to people with no insurance in the U.S.?

    Maybe. It says her; https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...care-card.html

    that ERs will provide health care for free, but you might need immigrant status. My cousin from Scotland had his gall bladder removed under emergency status and he was never billed nor hounded for anything.
