Larry Johnson Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and to making my own softies and have run into a problem. I can't find a supplier who carries dye that will ship to me in Ontario, Canada. Jann's flat out refuse to ship outside the US and there isn't any suppliers that I'm aware of in Canada that carry dye. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

nova Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Make sure that the products are shipped by USPS not UPS or it will cost you an arm and both legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbayte Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I talked to them on the phone...I must stay, the guy on the phone did NOT bolster my confidence in dealing with them! Hopefully the company is more reliable then the guy on the phone appeared to be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little man baits Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 They are ok to deal. With. A lil on the clueless side. I had ordered a 5 gallon Pail and it took forever to get here. But it's not their fault. My over all rating is a 7 out of 10...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Johnson Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sadly, they aren't the most knowledgeable when it comes to products, but they are the only show in town. I've tried to talk them into bringing some other dye colors, and glitter but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little man baits Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ya I've done. The same. I've even gone as far as calling the company to see if they do drums or other types of plastic. But it's the only kind they got. Nice product to use. It's a sinking plastic with no salt added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfish22 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Iv been buying at plastic world too. Online store worked well for me too as i don't get in to the city often enoguth. @ larry - they carry all the dyes that aluilite sells. thought they only seem to stock some of the powders i once special ordered thefull powder set from them, took a couple weeks but was way cheaper then ordering direct. @ little man - they have had the 5 gallon in the 2 times i needed (thought im usual good with a gallon or 2) Also watch out since they moved, no longer on shepard, they are now on chesswood just north of shepard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBA Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 If your not far from the boarder, find a location stateside to have an order shipped to. I'm in Ottawa and it is cheaper for me to make the 1.5hr trip to pick up on the other side of the boarder than it is to have it shipped over to me. On 5 gallons, my gas is a lot cheaper than shippin over the boarder. At the same time I'll grab groceries while I'm there and the savings there make my trip well worth while.

Jdeee Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I agree with BBA, I ship all my orders to a freight forwarder in a small town just below the US border, they charge me 3 to 5 dollars to receive the packages. It's a 45 minute drive from Montreal. Since many U.S. companies ship within the states for free on quantity orders it's well worth the drive. I return to the Canadian border and I always declare the goods and there value and have never been asked to pay taxes or duty. If the value is under $100.00 or so I don't think it's worth their time and energy to pull you over for the collection if you are being honest with them. I hate being reamed by fed up or UPS for over inflated brokerage fees and all there extra fees. It's not worth it to bring goods in when the fees cost more than the product itself. Under $50 I have never paid brokerage or duty if it comes into Canada with the United States Postal Service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
