Help getting a Kamado to Canada
Got all the landscaping done and the new patio is finally ready for a #7K.
I live in Ottawa, Canada, 4 hours from Toronto. Called the company and was quoted $413US for Conway to ship to Toronto (Scarborough to be more precise) in 5 days. Went to Conway's web site and got a similar quote. I found the shipping charge just too much to digest, especially when the K is going for $739US. Someone from Toronto got his #7K shipped for $230US (don't know how long ago)! Not sure why the $180US difference now. I thought Kamado has distribution center in New Jersey, where I hope to get my K shipped from there to reduce cost. But the company says it has to ship from Sacramento. Any ideas on how I can save on the shipping charge is appreciated. But if this is the only way to go, I think I may bite the bullet and cry once only, as the K is just too good to pass. thanks in advance, /David. |

Would it help to get shipped to Buffalo, NY, and then drive down to get it?

I can look into that. Or if Conway can ship it to Cornwall which is a lot
closer to Ottawa where I live. thanks, /David. "barry" > wrote in message . .. > Would it help to get shipped to Buffalo, NY, and then drive down to get it? > > Barry |

My impression from the search I did is "yes".

Perhaps a road trip with 2 gorilla friends, case or 2 of fine frosties, and some ribs to cook up when you get it set up. It should only heat to about 250ºF the first coupla burns. Plan? Jack |

I'd also phone around to local freighters & see what the would need to haul 400lbs from California. Perhaps ConWay ain't the end-all & be-all. Harry |
