Online Shops in Canada?

grease · 12-02-06, 03:21

Curious if there are any online detail stores specifically for Canada?

I buy from eshine.ca a fair bit, but Im curious if there are any others with different product lines?

Hey bud,

Carcaresmart.com has a few lines that you may be looking for.

Good luck!

For a "higher end" wax, you could check out Victoria Wax . David W. is a nice guy.

The guy from The detailing shop is a really nice guy, I think I will be putting in an order in with him as soon as the snow clears!

I have ordered from E-shine and carcaresmart before and they are both very friendly and helpful. The only thing i dont like is Chris ships via Canpar

LOL! We do so for a reason. We have used other couriers in the past and believe me we had many unhappy customers. With Canada Post for example we had a 70% delivery rate and a 30% damage/lost rate. In all cases the other couriers always tried to find a way out of paying the insurance. This cost us a lot of money. With Canpar we have over 99% successful deliveries. In the several cases where something went wrong they step up immediately and pay the insurance. This equals a happy customer and a happy eShine! Moving to Canpar has been one of the best changes for our customers, I hated getting the "Where is my stuff" email 2 weeks after thwey should have received it! Yikes!

P.S. Out of curiosity why do you not like Canpar?

Well, with my experiences Canpar is the slowest, and UPS being the fastest. After reading your post I guess slow is better than never.

Also Canpar locations are really awkward and out of the way. I think that Canada post is 2 blocks away and UPS is 3k away, Fedex: 15k and Canpar is located in an industrial area IIRC. Just a personal preferace

Hopefully my #16 order will come quickly

bahaha UPS the fastest! sorry... UPS can be the "fastest" if you pay 100$ for a box 4" x 4" and under 1 lbs. I have work with all delivery compagnie available in Quebec and UPS is the worst and Purolator is the best, that my opinion.
Canpar is pretty good but maybe he lost larger boxes

looks like I'm the only guy that doesn't like Canpar.

At least it’s not, I hate FedEx! I had a large envelope priority shipped and I swear the thing when everywhere but where it was supposed to!

I think the detailing shop ships with Canada Post and Canpar.

Running an online shop myself, I find Canada Post Xpresspost as good and fast as Purolator, but without the inflated cost. IMHO DHL is the worst, you pay them to get things lost !
