My bill with US Address Inc. was exactly $40 for 8 tires back on October 6th. (Both sets picked up within the first week.)

tires only are bundles in pairs, tires with rims are bundled together.

they came in pairs.but US address inc says each tire is a package.ie not in pairs for their purpose.Still cheaper than buying in Canada.
Stay 48 hours and can import tax-free ($400 Cad limit)

ask seller to put tires to box.

they charge me $10 for used xerox 4400 laser printer. it aroung 40 kg and i cannot but box to rear sit, it was to large.

I beleive you can have the tires shipped to the UPS depot in Niagara Falls. and it is free. only thing is they are only open during week days. Check UPS site and give the depot a call. I think it's the main distribution depot not a location where customers usually go. It was discussed on another Tirerack thread. i was going to use this possibly.

My tires were paired, but the charge was still $20 per set of 4.

I didn't question the charges, since I assume a pair of tires could of weighed more than their 50lb limit per package and the $5 rate may not of applied.

It is a flat $20 for 4 tires. No taxes. No hidden handling fee. No New York rubber tax, if there is one.

Take an Andrew Jackson from your pocket and walk out with your tires.

Charged US$5 CASH per tire by UPS store @Syracuse, even tirerack used UPS ground for shipping.

Why not just ship to an installer from tirerack? They didn't charge me extra
