It sounds like you were dealing with a Frenchy in Quebec. They are not like the rest of Canada, and many of them don't like us very much.

So Im trying to get this part for a customer. Manuf no longer makes it. Simple metal handle on a old machine that's about 40 years old. I get 2 hits on the locater from the Manuf that searches all dealers inventory. I need exactly two. First one is no issue. Place in IN had it. Even discounted it since I am a dealer so I can make a tiny bit, which is a customary thing between dealers. Last one is in Canada. I call the guy he answers in French. Luckily he can speak a little English So he says hell sell it to me. Great. Im like so will you do a discounted rate. Sure. Great. He tells me the price and its double list price in US dollars. I sit there and Im like uhm well this discount went in the wrong direction. Hes like well Im the last one with one. Im like yes this is true. Im also Canadian he says. Im like yeah well I am American so is there anything you can do here to get this out of your inventory? He tells me he will check with his manager. Finally calls back hours later. Now the price has went up another bit and is almost 3x list price. I again tell him this. Yes its the last one, and I am Canadian he replies. So, whats the deal. I thought Canadians apologized to you, not try and rape you on a part that they've been sitting on for a few decades. Probably more the "French" part than Canadian. |

French people are not Canadian as far as I'm concerned. I'm surprised he didn't say he is from Quebec, as most people from there say that first instead of Canada.
I'm sorry. |

They probably had to pay a tariff to get it in country which drove the cost up substantially compared to the one in IN.
I sell trailers to a customer in Canada, by the time he gets them home he pays about 30% more than he would if he lived here between the exchange rate and import duties. |
