Canadian Prices versus U.S. Prices



CANADIAN PRICES
vs. U.S. PRICES



With the current value of the Canadian Dollar, it is understandable to be confused about why our Canadian prices do not reflect this. However, our Canadian prices are as they are for a reason:

As our products are coming factory-direct from the USA (with the exception of polishing and cleaning products), we must offset the price in order to absorb the extremely high cost of Customs Brokerage and Import Sales Taxes.

In addition, you would be paying taxes on the order twice, as you would pay as it comes across the border - import tax - as well as the sales tax we are obligated to charge. Add to that the tax charged by the Customs Brokerage fee.

If we didn't intercept all these charges for you, the total cost would be higher than the published Canadian price.

Also, keep in mind that you are getting free shipping.

You will find with all U.S. based websites, that their International Shipping Policy is:
- If the order is being shipped to a location outside of the continental United States, the shipping costs are not included in the price of the product. They will also not be responsible for any taxes, duties or fees including Brokerage fees and Customs that are associated with any purchase. These additional charges are the responsibility of the customer.

If you wish to pay the U.S. Dollar price on our website, you will be responsible for any taxes, duties (if applicable depending on the product's origin) or fees including Customs and Brokerage fees that are associated with the purchase. Shipping, however, is still free.
