i dont know what side they drive on. i advertised some sun visors on ebay and he saw my add on here for the headlights and asked if im willing to post them to canada as they have n/a spec?? :undecided:
anyway his asking for size and weight of parcel.

I'd suggest using a company that ships its own stuff and not a company that contracts to royal mail, parcelforce, or any other general freight handler. Fedex or DHL are best imo. I say this because I work in air cargo and how some of the courier stuff is treated is pretty shocking. I'd be surprised if something like headlights made it there in one piece
