All Pro Supplier In Canada?

**FJKoji** · 02-08-2008, 12:04 AM

Anybody know of any All Pro Suppliers up here?

I order my AllPro stuff straight from them. No complaints at all. They ship UPS and get to Ontario from Cali in 10 days. Cheapest way in my area.

How are the brokerage and "handling" handling fees when they send their shipments? I have bought from US distributors in the past and have had good experiences and horrible ones with respect to the hidden shipping costs that you get dinged with.

I've ordered direct from All Pro too although I seem to recall a distributor in Vancouver. I could be wrong though.

Shipping is fast, if not cheap. I think duty was ~$100 on a full set of skids but again, I could be wrong

If you call the shipper prior to delivery and pay for duty with a credit card then you can avoid COD charges. Usually ~$10.

You know I did that before as well.
Paid the duty but got stung with a brokerage fee. The next time I asked to pay all additional charges (i.e. brokerage and duty) and I still got hit with taxes and additional delivery charges. I know you can't avoid the taxes coming into Canada but I really hate not knowing what the charges are going to be after you have already paid the retail amount with the company.
Thanks for you reply though.

It sucks getting slapped in the face by a hidden charge but I'd bet in the end it's still cheaper than getting it from a distributor up here with their huge mark up.

Agreed. The markup in Canada is ridiculous. I can't believe what some of these places charge. Some are definately better than others but still it's terrible. I have had good prices from North Shore Offroad here in Vancouver but they don't deal in All -Pro.

Ok, I thought it was North Shore who was an All Pro dealer... so I don't know of any dealer up here.

See if you can get them to ship via parcel post. They (Parcel Post) only charge you $5.00 plus GST. I personally don't like dealing with UPS. The want your "first born" just to clear customs. In some cases I've been charged more money to clear customs than I paid for the article that UPS was importing for me.
