Canadians Help Me Please!

[northwoodslivin]

Hey guys.

I am having a hard time trying to find parts here in Canada. Does anyone in Canada know of any places online to order Bolster brackets or Keel Rollers and other boating supplies.

Only places I can find are in the US and they want to rape me on shipping costs "triple the price of what the item is even worth lol"

I am in Ontario. Would greatly appreciate some help!
Thanks

I'm in Ontario too, but mostly anything for my boat I buy in US, unless it is a rush. E-bay is a great source for boat parts.

Yes.

Ebay.. They have the parts I need but want to charge me a crazy amount for shipping "more for shipping then what I am actually buying lol"

I am not sure I understand what you are getting at.. I am looking for places in Canada that sells the parts I need ... lol

As for USPS, I know.. that is who I like to have items shipped with if I am buying out of the US, but the seller only ships UPS and I hate UPS, they destroyed stuff on me more then once, and ripped me off on items a few times.

Does iboats ship USPS? I see they have bolster brackets..

West Marine has a store in Barrie. I've picked up a few things there. They will bring in anything you need.

basspro canada

Is it me or does Bass Pro only have an American site? I am confused there.. Because they do infact, carry the brackets I need...But it appears it is in the US
ETA: Ok so the way I understand it, if I bought something off of bass pro, the prices are in US funds but ship from Canada? COOL! much better selection!
Thanks! I think you just made my night

Re: Canadians Help Me Please!

I hate UPS too, their rediculous "brokerage fee". I always deal with vendors who ship USPS, or at least FedEx. I believe Westmarine US ships via USPS. I bought a thing or two from them in the past.

Re: Canadians Help Me Please!

princess auto or canadian tire have the rollers u want....as far as oem or other, your local boat dealership.

iboats is a fantastic boat store...if you dont need it "now" i boats is better than any dealership out there
