Ordering TRD parts from Cali Toyota Dealers

[mista]

Has anyone ordered TRD parts from any of the many Cali Toyota dealers that offer some really good prices?

The one I plan on dealing w/ is Carson Toyota and they ship via USPS. I already know and have gone through UPS hell.

If they can ship it via USPS as a "gift, warranty or reduced value", what other costs might I be subjected to?

tell them to mark it as returned goods.

Also another thing is to get it rushed so like 2 day shipping or something like that .. the slower it moves through the border the more it'll get hit with charges

delivery charge? i ordered a few things and had it shipped via usps...still got charged a small fee for delivery (sure as hell is better than ups though).
big dealerships like them most likely will not declare your goods at a value of $20 no matter how small (to save you from paying anything). west covina toyota wouldn't risk it either.

I think buying anything from the States is like playing Russian Roulette. Spin the wheel and hope for the best.... :?

Thx for the quick responses guys.
hehe. We need this guy to 'log in' then!

Cuz after visiting the TRD booth at the auto show and inquiring about TRD parts/pricing for the Matrix, there's no way in hell you'd get me to pay for those at any of the dealerships around here!

you could have them mail it to the postoffice in the states and tthen just drive accross and pick it up i think u will have to pay the postoffice a small storage fee though.
