"Love your product, but how much is shipping going to cost me in Ontario?"
That was the question Gordie asked us recently.
Gordie was interested in a front winch bumper for his 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser. He lives just across the border from us here in Michigan, in Ontario, Canada.
At first, it seems like a simple question.
Give us your address. We calculate shipping. Done.
Unfortunately, shipping to Canada has a few more moving pieces than that.
The shipping cost itself is only one part of the total. Once your order crosses the border, there can also be duties, brokerage fees, and Canadian taxes. Some of those costs we can estimate. Others we can't.
That's why we wrote this article.
Our goal is to explain exactly what you can expect before placing your order, so there are no surprises.
When ordering from Victory 4x4 and shipping to Canada, there are three costs to consider:
We can provide an accurate UPS shipping quote.
We cannot accurately estimate duties, brokerage fees, or taxes because those charges are determined by the shipping carrier and the Canadian government, not Victory 4x4.
To give you a general idea, here are the average shipping ranges we commonly see by product size.
Small Items
$65 - $225
Medium Items
$100 - $300
Large Items
$200 - $400
Freight Shipments
$450 - $750
These ranges are meant to be a general guide only.
Actual shipping costs vary depending on the size, weight, and destination of your order.

This is the part that often catches customers by surprise.
Your shipping quote includes the cost of transporting your order to Canada.
It does not include:
Those charges are assessed when your shipment enters Canada and are the responsibility of the recipient.
It's a fair question.
The simple answer is that we don't calculate them.
Duties, brokerage fees, and taxes are determined by the shipping carrier and Canadian customs based on factors like:
Because those charges are outside of our control, we don't want to guess and risk giving you incorrect information.
We'd rather be upfront about what we know and what we don't.
