Depends on how you ship it and if Canada Customs or Canada Post loses it.  My record?  Three months, discounting the one or two that never showed at all.  Absolutely never ship surface, several months minimum and a much higher percentage of no shows.  I usually ship either UPS expedited (2 to 4 days) or Royal Mail tracked and signed (5 to 14 days).

Do not ask them to mark a lower value.  Canada Customs is not stupid and you just throw the calendar away if they do an inspection, and worse, find something wrong.

I have heard that you should have the shipping documents marked for antique or classic car. Helps with the duty you should only pay GST PST.

Rd Enterprises has the window trim.  I know they are in the U.S., but it may save you money.

Thanks for all the replies
I looked all over for that molding
I saw that one of the us distributor as the
molding but it is not the regular size
which means I’ll have to buy the 4 corners also
So I was gonna order from England I’m gonna
recheck all of them before ordering to make sure
I’m getting the right size

As far as I know the OEM windshield molding for glue in windshields is no longer available in its original size, including the corner pieces. I bought everything from RD.

Regarding shipping from the UK, I order from the UK on a regular basis and get packages as quickly as 2 days or as long as a week. Nothing longer. Make sure there are 3 copies of the invoice outside of the package for customs. Mark for an antique car. Claim the real value. Pay the duty (it’s not a lot) and make sure you don’t pay VAT as your buying for use outside of the country.
