I'm looking for a place that won't charge me my first born to ship grit to ontario. Any suggestions? I tried using the vendors thread but most of the places that I tried were either unresponsive or wanted astronomical amounts of money to ship it to me. I realize that it's heavy but I'll cry if I can't get more grit

I just started having fun with my rock tumbler

Here is a couple of Canadian sites, seems to be rather high prices, I guess they had to pay the shipping already.

This may be your best deal, in BC

It is still high but better than UPS and no brokerage fees.

thanks everyone! Grit is on it's way and I can't wait to get my tumbler going again! Ended up buying from Robert Hall, they got back to me finally and their shipping was much more reasonable (being in ontario with me probably helped!)
