http://www.carcaresmart.com/

Carcaresmart use to carry the full lineup of Menzerna but I just checked their site and they only seem to carry a couple things now, maybe just contact them and see if they are getting any more in.

www.downautospa.com - phone them, they will split it out from their large portions.

and charge you full price, don't sound like a deal to me. There's already a thread started about the way they do business.

I know of those problems - they were completely fair to me in the my purchases. As I was ordering a bulk items, it worked better than buying IP/FPii in the smaller portions.

All u got to do is talk to them - use your negotiating skills - work yourself a deal - worked for me.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I ended up getting a larger supply from detailedimage.com. Picus recommended this site to me, and after talking to Greg I was more then impressed with their level of service. I look to do business with them again in the future.

Hey folks - I've been using Detailedimage.com as Nik mentioned; Geroge and Greg (the owners) are really good about shipping fast and more importantly shipping via USPS to help avoid duty charges. With the exchange rate the way it is I've just been getting everything I can't find in Canada from them.

I spoke with Chris at eshine.ca about carrying Menzerna and I think he said he was looking into it. I am not sure that aside from Autopians that there is a huge market for it here and I think the margins are really small, which is probably why carcaresmart.com stopped carrying it.

I didn't feel comfortable saying my credit card info over the phone so I paid by paypal. The thing is, I sent them an e-check which takes a while to clear, despite this they shipped my stuff right away and honored that the money would come. In addition, I was looking for some real plush microfiber towels (aka PakShak) and while they didn't have any listed, some new plush towels that they planned on putting up online, ended up in my order at a DISCOUNT. Thats A+ service.

Chris is also very nice to deal with and between these two online retailers, Im not sure I would go anywhere else.

Kevin, Im not sure which I like better, your detailing/photography or your web design. Both are stellar. Keep up the good work!!

Well it depends. In my experience *most* of time time if you ship USPS you don't get hit with duty. With UPS/Fedex it's automatic. So it's hit or miss; in any event with the exchange being what it is you still end up ahead even if you do get caught for duty.

There should be no duty, but you will most likely be charged the 14% tax and the $8 Canada Post handling fee. In the end, its still usually cheaper
