Getting a truck cap from Montreal to Calgary
I can’t seem to win lately. Everything I want to buy is far away.
So there’s a truck cap, a nice one too that’s for sale in montreal.
Other than finding someone with a pickup who’s driving all the way to Calgary...
Wait I guess that the best way, out it on a pickup. How in the heck would I find
Someone coming here in the next couple of weeks?

You should look into the never ending countless horror stories from them.
They are the last people I would use.
Here's just one of many threads on those bafoons.

I'd be worried it's one of those infamous scams.

Can you really save enough money to make this worthwhile. Just asking. As far as shipping, talk to Canopy West and see how they do it, will at least give you a place to start. I do know, many canopies need to be properly attached to a wood 2x4 frame or they will crack if handled unsupported.

What Deaner just said. Canopies are a dime a dozen. Put a want ad on kijiji under truck caps and canopies and get ready to answer your phone.

Benjamin Franklin: The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price/deal is forgotten.
I will do without before I purchase anything from Quebec.....In every transaction I have ever made with a person in Quebec; were not without issues....
Look closer to home.
Good luck

I would agree, though I have had a couple that went okay. Enough didn't I kind of swore off buying out of Quebec, but last week I broke my own rule. Found a combination 7x65R over 12 gauge, with an extra set of 12 gauge barrels all in VG condition for under a grand. Guy has an extensive CGN trader rating, all positive. Gun should get here in the next day or so, we shall see if the trader rating reins supreme or if the Quebec effect wins out.

Think there is still a place in Innisfail that has a yard full.

I’d like to answer that question but searching under the name pulls up the source of the sale. Some things a guy has to keep under his hat.

You know if you look at various auctions um say west of Manitoba the prices between what we pay at auction and what things sell for there... big difference.
Albertans still have more money to spend than many eastern areas.p and that drives our prices up in auctions etc. Sometimes if you’re really careful and you buy items right you can easily save enough to make it worthwhile.
