Hmm, Looked up on google maps and it's bit one and half day's time by driving. Google shows the fastest route to be going through Springfield, IL and going to Ohio. This route wouldn't be going to Toronto but going into U.S. from Saskatchewan southbound.

That option you suggest ... might work but will have to wait until I know how much I get for tax refund. Then I'll decide, I knew the trip will be nice for me but is still not stone carved - lol!

Still, the problem remains - who will be willing to storage the parts for me until I go get the parts??

I think bus shipping is out because they have size limitations on what can fit in the luggage holds of the buses.

Is there anyone in the northwest U.S. states - Washington State , Montana state or Idaho state as a member here? I need some help in shipping the van doors as close to me as possible for the pick-up.

I'M getting DESPERATE now.

It may look like if no one's going help - I may have to go with the last option and that's going out on a van trip (to Nats) myself to get the parts. Expect which I need some place for storage the van doors to hold the van doors for me to come get them then.

Thanks

If you are going to have them shipped near the Alberta border, just send it to a Trucking Terminal near the border, hold for pickup....They will hold it for you a week or so until you can pick it up.

Fedex or UPS freight may be an option, also Conway........


I can tell you now that Vanner's are few and far between in some of those areas, and the ones that are, may not be paying attention to this particular post....................

I live a almost 2 hours from said Springfield...I don't search forums or threads often, rarely post. Had I found it I would have helped. I'm still in area but presumably too late

Westvan, there is a warehouse at the border crossing to Sweetgrass Montanna that Calgary folks have stuff shipped to. It's called "At the Border Storrage".

I haven't done it myself, but the place is in view of the border crossing and it's only a 3 hour drive from Calgary.

It's worth checking it out.
