Trying to buy Elite series helmet in Canada

[WildSide]

Hi guys, I am ready to buy a helmet and want an elite helmet but the dealers here don’t stock them! One dealer mentioned that they were not Canadian Standards Approved (CSA) which I find hard to believe since they are listed in the catalog.
Can you help me out Andy?

Where abouts are you located? I have had no problem finding the helmets in welding stores in Calgary.

[WildSide]

Good to know Steve, I am in Toronto, may have 1 store that can special order it. I like to buy from Alberta anyways, do any of your stores ship by mail? What are the prices like?

[Steved]

So far the best deals are on Ebay at $224 USD but you still have to pay for shipping/tax/duty and the deal is not that good. (Although you are quite close to the border - might be time for a road trip)

I have gotten some quotes from AirGas and Air Liquid. AirGas was willing to budge and drop their price to around $350 for the painted models.

Let me know what happens. I am also saving up for one of those helmets.

Forgot to answer one of the questions.

I am not sure if they mail but you can try AirGas - 403.272-6605 talk to Bernie. (You can mention me if you want - not sure it will do anything though)

Is there not an AirGas in TO?

Also check IOC. They usually beat BR by a little and they ship international.

Wildside, A friend of mine works in an industrial supply store, If you want I can check on availability and price if you want. I live in Northern Ontario. Scott.

Thanks everyone! I need to get it soon, found one place locally, it's special order for $340.00 (black model) which is close to what I would pay from the states, perhaps $40 more. Scott if you can get a price comparison please let me know.

WildSide, I talked my buddy, he would have had to phone for a price, so I just did'nt want to bother him. Hope you enjoy the helmet. Sorry. Scott.
