    Been wanting to give 3M Ultrafina a try for a while now, but I have no idea where to pick it up in Canada. Anyone in Canada, or Ontario know where to find this product? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do a search for Napa Cmax.

    I found it there but be prepared to take it up the butt.

    They wanted $60 for the Ultrafina SE, $35 for the blue pad and $60 for the backing plate.

    I ordered from the USA and got all this for $140

    I was afraid that the Canadian retailers would jack their prices. I wonder, seeings that I live a 5 minute drive from Detroit, MI, if I should just make a trip over there and see what I can find.

    Do a search and find a freight forwarder in Detroit that receives packages.

    I ship all my packages to a freight forwarder across the border and pick them up for $3.00 a box.

    I always get the best deals online and I never pay brokerage fees or worry that they`ll drop off a package on my doorstep and it will sit out there all day.

    If it`s $40-50 Customs doesn`t even bother you for the taxes usually.

    I`ve even gone through with declaring $200 brake rotors and they didn`t even stop me a few months ago (rare occasion).

    Does it just cost you $3.00 per package, or are there any other fees. If I could bring this stuff across myself instead of shipping it across the border, it`d be great. I mean, sometimes it takes 3-4 weeks for a shipment to arrive thanks to customs

    The freight forwarder charges only $3.00 per package up to 70 Lbs.

    Tires are a little more though.

    It was only $2.00 before the first of January. No other fees.

    I picked up a clutch and flywheel which weighed 50Lb. last week and it was stilll $3.00.

    When I cross the border I only pay the taxes since it`s a US made product.

    I shipped a US made car part to a customer of mine from NJ to Alberta and it sat in customs for 17 days. It`s a damn joke.

    Here is a link to the place I use. I`m sure there is a company in your area that does the same thing.

    I use a UPS Store in Niagara Falls, NY. You rent a box there and have your packages shipped to it. There is no Post Office Box Number but a street number and everything arrives just fine and is signed for. Have had it for 3 years now.
