Hello all. Just recently moved out of the US to Canada. Anyone know where the best place is for extruded aluminum. 20x20 V, 20X40, 40x40 , etc, etc. Import fees here can be a little extreme 15% tax+18% import to the island I am on. Would prefer to get it domestic, but if there is a reasonable USA supplier I would be interested. Grainger and Graybar are on both sides of the fence(USA,Canada) but too pricey.
If you are just keeping a general eye out for extruded aluminum, I would monitor your local salvage places. You would be surprised how much you can get for just the salvage cost. That reminds me, I should call my local place and see if they have anything that has come in.
I am on an island, very rare to have any kind of scrap. mainly looking for 20x20 and larger V channel. Similar to the stuff sold at http://openbuildspartstore.com/
Where did you relocaTE TO pETE?
I’ve ordered from http://snbinc.ca. They ship via Canada Post. No complaints and I will probably order from them again next time I need some more. I haven’t ordered from but you could also try http://robotshop.com, http://spool3d.ca or http://makerparts.ca
WOW thank you!, I had looked at open builds in the past, but out of the USA and Purorlator has a habit of charging $40.00 plus tax. http://SNBINC.ca looks spot on to what I am looking for!!!. Thank you folks, I really appreciate the feed back.
