Does it cost alot to ship a 5 gal pail to Canada?

BRS ships all Canada shipments on Fridays so you pay no duty. If you log onto their site, it will quote you on shipping.

Given that you are in Calgary, I would think that you could get a group order going and help pay for that shipping bill.

you can get some fairly big sizes of carbon from jl also,i had no complaints with it, but im gonna order from bulk reef supply this time.

Let me know when you are going to order. Maybe we can split shipping.

I'm in for some GFO phosphate remover if you want to look at a group buy.

Does anyone have any expierience with doing a group buy? How do you set it up with BRS?

Looks like the shipping will still be alot for a 5 gal pail. Any local retailers that have similar prices?
