Canadian Online Order

[cd36]

It is tough to find some of the more specialized Meguiars stuff around here, does anyone have a good website that carries a wide array of Meguiars products, that is based in Canada? I know if eshine.ca and car care smart, but I'm sure there must be others. Thanks!

Re: Canadian Online Order

I know about The Detailing Shop and WaxOnWaxOff and both ones you mentioned. Eshine gets 99% of my orders still. I always take the time to shop and only once another canadian online supplier had a better overall price for the stuff I needed.

Re: Canadian Online Order

It seems like some products in Canada are quite tough to find. On the Meguiars Canada page it said to e-mail customer service and they could set you up with whatever you are having a tough time finding. I e-mailed customer service and they said I can't order anything in Canada. I asked them why their website says I was able to order stuff from them, and they responded saying that they have closed their Canadian Offices, and the American office is handling everything. They said I won't be able to order anything through e-mail until the Canadian Office is opened again.

Whats going on with Meguiars? When will the Canadian Office open again, and most importantly, where can I get some of these things like APC and Odor Remover, or do I just have to find another brand?

Re: Canadian Online Order

Don't get me started on this topic lol it drives me nuts! I don't even know why Meguiars has a Canadian web site. E-shine has been great but has very little Meguiars product. ADS was ok but took forever to get here (mind you that was a couple of years ago) because they don't ship to Canada till they have a large order. I've talked to the Canadian megs reps severl times via e-mail and really their hands are tied. Only some product make it to Canada, Simple as that. I tried a supplier here in the west that said they could get anything I wanted from Meguiars. Well they could'nt. And what I did get from them some of it was more "wholesale" that what i would of paid picking it up at my local Canadian Tire! Right now I would say your best bet is e-Shine or with the dollar near par ADS.
When I was purchasing my first G-110 I was told by the Canadian Megs rep that I could'nt buy one in Canada because they were not allowed to sell them here aparrently they were not UL certified for Canada. Well I bought one from Lordco in BC,...Canada (320Cn bucks!). I love the produts(that I can get), I love the US forums, I love what Mequiars represents but the supply, service and decent pricing for Canadians is pretty much non existent.

You could try these supplyers in your area to see if they can order what you need.

Re: Canadian Online Order

Hey, thanks. It is frustrating how limited their supply seems to be here. I'll have to make a few phone calls, but its becomming a huge pain to find some of the Meguiars products I want, hopefully they are worth it.

Re: Canadian Online Order

Another vote for Chris at eShine. Solid place, they even sell M16.

Re: Canadian Online Order

I even have ordered thru, e-shine. Seems like a solid place. Prompt with my order.

Re: Canadian Online Order

Indeed, eshine ships fast (unless you order something BO)

A couple years ago, I ordered from the Meguiar's Canada website, a few months before they shut that part down. I didn't know that. It was the only way I could get Meg's Gold Class Trim product along with a Water Magnet.

Re: Canadian Online Order

ya, thats the thing, eshine doesn't even carry many Meguiars products. And with Meguiars reluctance to help, looks like I'll be buying more products from another company.
