Is it just Art's that wont allow export? I was just browsing Jenson and Universal, and they didnt have any warnings about not being able to ship Maxxis internationally. I didnt go all the way to the end of the checkout process however.
Do you buy from CRC?
I bought Minions from CRC just a year ago, no problems.
I have an order on the way from bike24.de with some Maxxis DH tires, really cheap, but you have to pay 20EUR shipping (same with bike-discount.de). CRC has had horrible stock of Minions this year for some reason.
Amazon.com ships Maxxis as well, choose the "ship to Canada" box on the left to filter your search results. TBS in Kelowna also has some Maxxis online.
TBS/CRC/bike24.de don't have the 2.6's and yeah got most of the way through the check-out when the site kept kicking me back until I finally saw that ship-to-Cda. not allowed......I'll try those other guys. Thanks.
Holy fuck. Universal bleed me of several litre of blood to ship them. [facepalm]Shoulda' checked Jensen.[/facepalm] Desperation....

Competitive Cyclist also has them and looks like they ship to Canada. Shipping is $28, and they seem a bit pricer on there. Im assuming you arent in the Lower Mainland and that hopping across the border to pick them up is a no go?

Seriously? One stop shopping for gaz, milk and 2.6 Maxxis in little 'ol Blaine?! Whoo-hoo.....
Man, 28 clams is a bargain compared with the ordeal of the border hopping (where again?) duty ducking white knuckled careening drive to the land of Trump back.
Thanks (seriously) for the heads up though, I'll ad CC/[url=http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/02/15/amazon-has-some-serious-antitrust-issues/]Amazon(maybe not)[/url] to my list of MO providers.
The Forekasters ship on the 24th from Oregon I think. Wonder if they'll take 4 months like those offset bushing did. lol....shoulda' bought both tyres in gummy compound.

Ordered a Troy Lee A1 Reflex and some clear lens riding glasses a week ago today and I just received them this morning. Unreal. CRC never disappoints for me. If anyone is looking for a new all mountain lid CRC currently has the A1's on closeout for $100. When I ordered mine they had every colour available too. Oh, and shipping was free and I paid $0 taxes. Fist pump.

Bike24.de order showed up 9 days (7 business days) after ordering with the cheapest DHL/Canada Post shipping. Same deal as bike-discount.de: you pay Canada Post $10 handling fee + GST on items.
Still feels strange how much cheaper it was to ship bicycle tires, Muc-off cleaner and brake pads half way around the world in a giant box versus buying locally.
The middle men (distributors) are one of the main factors that make our local prices much higher I believe.

So, I ordered my bushings exactly two months ago yesterday and nada. Which is surprising because my last order from offsetbushings.com arrived in a couple wks.
They e-mail me (on a Sat., wow!) and offer to re-ship but I hate to double them up if it's just Cda. Customs being dicks.
On neither order did I opt for tracking though suppose in future I should.
Should I wait or hit them up for replacement? I mean, do posties steal that kind of shit?
So, they re-sent my order June 1st, it arrived today fuck man at least I can ride this wknd...........oh yeah and kudos to those guys they were prepared to send me a third shipment.
Update...the product they shipped in April just arrived. lol.....
I was so worried after reading this. Ordered from Offset, outgoing stamp on July 10th, arrived to my place in under two weeks.
Germans not shipping 5.10s to Canada should be a crime against cyclists.
Lately I've been dealing with bike-components with great success. When I picked Canada didn't notice any restrictions.
Did my first bike-components.de purchase. Very fast.
They twisted my wire bead tires to fit in a smaller box. Not a fan of that.
Customs charged me gst AND pst and recorded them as bike parts. Jerks.

At least the box came sealed? When I first started using them a few years back, boxes came barely holding together, with tires hanging out the side. I think things have improved since then. Claim that PST back on the back of the customs form.
