Anyone know of a supplier of good holding tanks prefferably in the
Toronto area. I just deliberated over which tank to purchase from the
website if Sherlon plastics in Cambridge only to find that they no
longer supply them. HMP Toronto have them in their catalogue but non are
suitable.
Ronco Plastics (
http://www.ronco-plastics.com) in California is your
best source...and since you're close to the border, I suggest you rent a
Mailboxes Etc (or one of the many similar businesses) address in the
closest location to you on the US side of the border--not just for the
tank, but for everything else you'd order from US marine suppliers. You
could even share it with friends and take turns coming over to pick up
shipments.
It's not illegal as long as you declare it when you cross back into
Canada and pay any duty (doubtful there'd be any)...those "mailboxes"
are very inexpensive, having stuff sent to one will save you a fortune
in UPS "international" shipping charges and "customs brokerage fees." In
the unlikely event there would be any duty, you'd have to pay that
whether it's shipped to a Canadian address or you bring it over...so
there's no gain or loss there.
Now is an especially good time to buy from US suppliers too...'cuz the
rate of exchange is the lowest it's been since I can remember.
