Canada Based Online Retailers?

[LazyWarg]

Anyone know of any Canadian online retailers?

Seems like you can get some pretty good deals online, but if possible I would like to keep my business "local", as well as to avoid the customs "brokerage"fees.

Thanks in advance for the info.

This may not help your search for CDN retailers but if you are looking to avoid brokerage fees just make sure that your order is being shipped with a level of service that includes brokerage. I ordered from Leisurepro and the stuff was shipped via Fedex airmail and brokerage was included with the service. The bigger your order,the more you save.
I split an order with a buddy and it came to about $500.. shipping was around $60 or $70 of that cost but we saved hundreds.

I agree with SCUBANOOB, if you have a fairly expensive order the shipping isn't a big deal vs the savings, and something like UPS worldwide express doesn't have any added brokerage fees. You will get dinged the GST, but you will pay that to a Canadian dealer too.

Since the demise of Divetank, I know of no other online Canadian dealer, but would be happy to find a good one.

Don't forget the PST, too.

Thanks for the replies.

It looks like I will just order from a US site and pay for the service...the prices are still the best around!

Thanks for the plug Jimmer... Yes I'm on-line, Canadian and yes most items ship within 24 hours.

Best Regards,

P.S. Don't forget to make sure whoever you are buying from is manufacturer authorized to sell their product whether online or instore.
