Should've just went to the Homedepot in Coquitlam which was a few minutes closer too!

Hopes this helps someone save a few bucks.
Corix in Coquitlam used to be the least expensive place for me - sometimes even half price vs others.
I gather it's now Iconix
When shopping there, I ask for a Landscaper/Installer discount.
Was the least expensive locally for me ... especially vs the big box stores.

Surprised to hear you thought it was expensive, but maybe you paid retail.

Don't forget about Pro Source I told you about on Douglas Road in Bby. We spoke about them last fall.
They give discounts if you ask for it.

100% I will check out Pro Source next time! I like to shop local too, so I hope they are good. I forgot about your suggestion and only found my thread here after I wanted to complain about Corix lol.

Yah I must really look out of place at Iconix(previously Corix) because after you said it's least expensive for you locally I thought maybe I made a mistake, so I searched up a few items at Homedepot to compare and well let me tell you I paid 40-50% more.
Homedepot 1" plug $1.65 vs $3.07 at Iconix
Homedepot 1" PVC .50/ft vs .75/ft at Iconix
Homedepot 3/4" PVC .37/ft vs .57/ft at Iconix

I feel kinda embarrassed that I got hosed like that as I'm usually a very good comparison shopper, but I really couldn't compare as I was grabbing items because Iconix doesn't put prices up on their shelves.

I will never shop there again, nor would I recommend anyone go there.

I guess the change of hands changed their price structuring.
Too bad as they used to be the least expensive I could find.
