I need to buy a Boyd’s stock, preferably somewhere in the Edmonton area, any suggestions?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

sorry I would buy one as well for a rem 700 short action, no one in Alberta sells them that I am aware of

wish they did.

I don't know of any one in Canada that stocks them. I've bought a few from them and their service from the US is pretty good. They usually ship within a month .. some time sooner. Good quality products and the price is right.

I’ve always just bought directly from Boyd’s. Kurt don’t tell me your already replacing the stock on that Clymr?

Kurt505 · #6 02-07-2019, 08:51 PM

I didn’t think anyone would stock them (there’s an unavoidable pun there), I just figured someone could bring them in.

Calgary shooting centre says they sometimes stock them.

petew · #11 02-07-2019, 11:36 PM

Order direct , just make sure it ships USPS , not a courier. Another place to look is Richards Microfit stocks.

I ordered a Boyd’s stock a few years... more like 8 but it was simple and hassle free.

baticus · #13 02-08-2019, 06:39 AM

Ordering direct is the easiest way. I had mine in about 3.5 weeks.

I thought Richard's Microfit stopped shipping to Canada?

I guess I have ordered 6 stocks from Boyd’s over the years. The quickest was 11 days and the longest was almost a month. It seems like they were quicker on the first ones I ordered or it could be that CBSA just wanted to play with and fondle them for awhile.

Stocky's Stocks is now shipping to Canada. I believe it's a $500 max value.

you need to Email them for Canadian ordering and charges. Last time I corresponded ,about a year ago ,they were again selling to Canada, but there was a processing fee involved.

I called today, what a good place to order from. They’re in North Dakota, -20 plus wind chill, -60 with the wind chill last week!

Simple process, tell them what you want, they build and ship direct. About $250can to my doorstep!

They’re great.

Deezel · #22 02-10-2019, 09:27 AM

For anyone that's interested, I contacted Stocky's to find out exactly how much and what they will ship. They said they will ship up to a $500 max value and will only ship stocks. They can not ship scopes or barrels.

Should be taking possession of a Boyd's on Monday the 11th

Jan 17 -Stock ordered
Jan 23 - Stock shipped
Jan 27 - Stock arrives at Canada customs
Feb 4 - Stock clears customs
Feb 8 - Receive notification that delivery will be attempted on next business day.
Feb 10 - Fingers crossed.

Pretty quick process. A week in customs is pretty fast in my experience.
I've had a couple of springs and a rail sit in customs for 3 weeks.

How much is shipping and brokerage fees on top of the cost of the stock? I can’t proceed to checkout because for some reason it won’t register my postal code, it keeps saying I’m entering an incorrect zip code for the country I entered.

Big Sky · #25 02-10-2019, 10:48 AM

$60 US

Shipped USPS. Was told that was an all in charge.

Thanks.

Did you order online or over the phone?

DanOO · #27 02-10-2019, 03:50 PM

I believe Blue Mountain gunsimthing in Williams Lake has been carrying some Boyd stocks.

I recently bought stocks from both Boyds (2) and Stockys (2). Both were great to deal with, easy online orders, good customer service and all.
But I'll tell ya, be prepared for the brokerage fees. I'd have to dig out the receipts but they are a fair bit. UPS higher than USPS.
What can you do though? If you want the stocks from them, that's the deal.
I really like all the stocks but with the US dollar, fees, etc. it adds up.
I'd buy again though.

DLab · #29 02-11-2019, 09:32 AM

I've ordered a number of Boyd's stocks over the years online and by phone ,shipped with USPS no brokerage fee's ,50/50 chance Canada Border services will charge GST and Canada Post will levy a collection fee of $10.00 for the GST.
Boyd's will give you the "all in "price from their end on shipping at time of ordering.
Never ordered from Stocky's ,so can't comment on that,but if I'm ordering from Company in the USA and they don't ship USPS I take my business else where.
The Dollar exchange is bad enough without adding additional Brokerage fee's.

That's right. IIRC UPS shipping from Stockys was $80.00 per stock for brokerage fees, plus tax, shipping fee, etc.., and Boyd's, using USPS was $29.00+.
UPS is much quicker than USPS, but if I had known at the time, I don't care about an extra two weeks or so...
