What is with that? Here in the states it's $16.95 plus $8.95 shipping--so about $26 US. What happened to NAFTA? Where is the extra money getting added in?

Hey man, I believed you, I was just wondering where all the extra cost came from! How does the Canadian dollar compare to US? Looks like the product price is much higher, plus a little more on the shipping, and a bunch of taxes.

Currently it's hovering around 89ยข or so to the US $1.00, so the exchange isn't the reason. (And there's an agreement with Zaino that says you can't buy from Zaino.com if you live outside the US.)

Tumbler, Id be happy to purchase Zaino for you and ship it to you if that makes it any cheaper on your behalf rather than buying directly from them. Just keep it in mind if in the future you would like to replenish your supply, Id be more than happy to help a fellow detailer out! |

Would it not be easier to just call or e-mail Sal and ask him directly why the cost is so high per unit in Canada?
Could there possibly be a mistake in the calculation of your invoice?
Shipping and taxes seem to be on par with exchange rate but the unit price seems to be waaaaay off.

It must have something to do with the importer--he is either jacking it up or there is some duty/tariff.

If that's the case Sal has no control over importer's pricing which is controlled by their investments made to allow Zaino products to be imported.
Are there no "authorized Zaino distributors" in Canada near Toronto?

You can get Zaino, including Z5pro, at the Barbers Chair in Yorkdale Mall or Square One. Both are $24.95.

I wasn't trying to imply that he did--I was just curious where the extra money came in, after all the noise about the North American FREE Trade Act. Last time I shipped something to CAN it was a real hassle.
