Canadian equivalent of Leisure Pro??

Hey guys,

Just wondering if any one knows of a Canadian equivalent to leisure pro. Shipping and paying duty really add up when ordering from the states.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

But incidentally, there is no "duty" per se. You pay taxes, and if you brought it across via UPS, you were raped over brokerage fee's, but no "duty." Welcome to NAFTA.

Do what everyone else I know does - get it shipped to a friend in the USA. If you need it in a hurry, have them ship it to you in a regular box as a gift from a friend - as long as it's not the big brown rape machine known as UPS, you should be fine. I just pick my stuff up when I go there on business or dive at Gilboa or whatever.

There are some good Canadian deals out there. And there are a few USA suppliers who are REALLY good about shipping to Canada - COVCI is one. (www.covci.com)

The good news is that many things are a lot CHEAPER. Drysuits are hundreds of dollars cheaper in Canada than the USA. Many Regulators and major ticket items are much, much less expensive, due to the lower dollar, and I would guess, the easier trade practices.
