Last time I ordered 5 sets first class postage was 59 cents to Canada in a bubble pack envelope.
Now they want $19.00 Shocked for flat rate small box because they can't print first class postage online? Suggested I try local. None of the supply houses or hydraulic shops here carry metric o-rings. OEM o-rings in Canada are more than double U.S. pricing.
If anyone is ordering & would order an additional 5 sets & mail them to me it would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy to send you payment via Paypal to cover all costs.

I ordered a 5 pack and a set of engine hanger covers and they shipped it for 10 bucks to Alberta. Maybe a good excuse to get some chrome if you need anything

I also bought them with the hanger covers, as well as 6 intake o-rings. Postage didn't seem extravegant.

I get mine shipping just south of the border in WA state, and drive across and pick it up form a mail house. They charge about $3 to receive, and shipping is cheaper to the US.

I already have a set of 4 left from Carolina Bikes & Trikes, and my IS is written off, so I wont need them till my next Valk. send me an email gordonv1 at telus . net work something out.

They want over 20$ to ship to Europe so its not just Canada, what happened to US postage prices? Needless to say I didn't order them at that price.

If the proper information can be found for the O-rings it may be the least expensive option to get then from an auto parts dealer or a bearing supply.  Some hardware stores also carry a good variety of O-rings.
