Little bit of both maybe? hehe

We are very transparent, nothing to hide. Threads like this are what makes us vendors know what out clients want.

but you said it yourself "above quote" its foolish to spend your money at one place when you can get it cheaper at another.
A good example is pritty much any online retailer in Quebec, they are always going to be more expensive due to the higher taxes.
Same for your store vs lets say J&L Aquatics I get the same thing for less but its still got to cross the country to get here.
This is why I always by outside Quebec

That's not how it works. We cant charge other provinces Quebec taxes :-)

Here is our tax breakdown

Alberta 5%
BC 12%
Manitoba 12%
NB 13%
Newfoundland and Lab. 13%
NWT 5%
Nova Scotia 15%
Ontario 13%

Quebec 14.975% (no kidding we're pi$$ed lol)
Sask 10%
Yukkon 5%

Can you Email us what you would like to see on our store? http://www.reefsupplies.ca/canada/contact/

Thanks!

Great on yah!

I like the fact you want to be open to "criticism" or constructive feedback.

Good luck!
