• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Haha fair ye surprised anyone knows that town considering some people from lumby don't have a clue about it.

Also package sizing is 11"x12"x2.5" and weight is 13.8lbs so I'm gonna see what I can find out.

Haha ouch not shipping FedEx probly and I think UPS and Purolator want to join the strike so running low on options I guess till Canada Post is back?

Yeah, ouch!

I just poked the CP bear and it spit out just under $50 for parcel post (when the strike is over) so I guess the FedEx ground is about what one could expect from them.

The CP way does include tracking so it’s reassuring to know they’ll know where it is if it does get delayed, lol!

I see that CP offers what they call a flat rate box size that your box would fit into for $30 except…..the max weight would be 5kg/11 lb. Oh, well.

There’s always more to the story, CP and FedEx (and the rest of them) offer much better rates if you have an account with them. I’ve never looked into it but I would imagine there’s a catch somewhere in the fine print.

Thanks for looking into this @justin1, appreciate it!

D :cool:

All I need is an address of where it needs to go.
Once it's in a box, all packed up securely, and dimensions recorded, it's a pretty easy process
