I found that to buy the lighting that I want for my next tank (3 x 24" 2x65w) up here would cost
270$ * 3 = 810$ + taxes = $931.00
Buying it from the states would cost
112$ * 3 = 336$ + taxes and duties = $432 USD or ~$500.00
total ripoff.. they need to fix their pricing and stop gouging.. I have no reason to shop in Canada for anything but fish and plants. Our dollar is not worth 50cents..
Filters, if I was buying more then 1 could save just as much, how do stores up here consider bending us over with pricing to be fair?
just wondering if anyone found a site that doesn't try to gouge quite so badly so I can keep our $$'s up here, right now I have no motivation to do so. I may even look into ordering everything but tank, fish and plants from the US. Even bulbs, they are 22$ down there and 100$ up here..
