That's good Robyn.  :)

In my experience with Security Mail tires don't cost any more than any
other parcel but double basses in BIG cardboard boxes are $15.00 for
two. 

And Todd, Miguel & John are men!

They're in Blaine, so it wouldn't be too far to the nearest WalMart. 

Excellent service, and $2 per parcel if you buy a membership with them
($10 lifetime). They charge more for oversize things (tires would
qualify), but it's still very reasonable.

Hi North/West coast crew,
as I found the shipping for Hankook RA08 195 tires is extremely 
expensive to Canada (either busdepot or tireseasy), I would like to ship
them to somewhere near the border in Bellingham or so and have them
mounted/balanced down there. Do you have some recommendations of a shop 
that accepts these tires that I bought from an online shop and mounts
them for me? I know Walmart would do it, but I don't think I can ship to
them. I have no other shipping adress that I coudl use for picking them 
up, so the shop who deals with them would be the best idea.
Thanks a lot
Cheers
Thomas
