KleenRite - what are Canadians doing?

[HappyGoose]

New to this forum, and located in Eastern Canada.

I'm looking to order inventory for the retail section of our brand new auto/ss/detail wash. I know most people in the US are using Kleen-Rite for their inventory/supplies - but can any Canadians weigh in on other options? I've ordered a few things from KR already and been charged a fortune in shipping, and the process to get a quote each time is excruciating. I'm looking for air fresheners, wipes, cloths/shammys etc...

Can anybody point me in a non-KR direction?

Bump... Also interested in possible solutions. Ordering from KR is great but shipping & border fees just kill your profit margins.

I use Kleen rite about 4-5 times a year, orders usually around 2-3k so they're worth the added freight expense.
They have the best prices even after factoring in exchange I use my own brokerage account with UPS.

Thanks for the replies! Looks like my best bet so far is to work on a better shipping option from K-R.

Go to the carwash show in Toronto usually they offer free shipping on the day of the show, ask them about free shipping when you order a large dollar amount.
