The insurance company cut me a cheque ($1000) seeing as we all had a hard time to get a bumper (just the bumper) shipped across the border
...as for myself I had issues with Mastercard International (in the states) & Rockauto....... (Rockauto automatically defaults to Mastercard for authentication on large dollar purchases) in this case $500Can.
International wanted to pry into my employment source & bank information....that didn't fly.
So I had to purchase the bumper from LMC Truck..
THEIR bumper is not an OEM quality item.....it's an offshore piece @$130US, (the good folks at LMC did say it was a decent item)
so I ordered the ENTIRE front bumper assembly from LMC, it totaled $520 Can, but....
to save the cross border shipping costs ($330) I have to go down to Lewiston NY next week & pick all of the items, and just for good measure I purchased a replacement grille as well.
My wife is happy .......she loves to cross border shop.
