Where in Montreal can I buy car care products?

This is a very interesting thread...i shipped tires once to Vermont and got them installed there..saved a bunch of money.
But how does it work if i ship a product to Freeport Forwarding? They charge holding fees? Do i just call them and arrange delivery?

you go get them when they arrive, and pays the fees, taxes, duty....
you shipping package:
freeport forwarding/your full name
freeport adress blablabla
and your tel number
make sure to get a tracking number
when the package shows on internet, you go get it

Also, make sure it doesn't get shipped USPS i.e., US Postal Service....I got caught once....USPS will no longer deliver it and it likely will get sent back. The other shippers work fine (Fedex, UPS, etc).
I've been using Freeport for over 20 years. Great people. For the address, I always use 'name' and 'their address' (don't put Freeport Forwarding in the address). I think I was told this when I first started using them.

Just wondering if any one can point me in the right direction as to where I can find decent car care stuff (i.e. wax's, polishers, and especially application/removal products for polishers). I can't seem to find anywhere that sells decent polishing pads, or application and removal pads.

As for dealing with some US vendors that have issues shipping to an alternate address, all you do is inform them at the time of your order that the shipping address is registered with your credit card company.

The CBSA official told me there are no duties on car/motorcycle parts and accessories, even if they were made in Europe. Tires not made in the US is another matter.
Some tips for those new to this:
Always ask the vendor to e-mail you a PDF invoice to print out and bring along. Sometimes, the vendor forgets to put the invoice in the package which can be an issue crossing the border.
Always print out the UPS/FEDEX delivery confirmation. The very odd time when they claim it hasn't arrived, I produce the delivery confirmation and they continue looking and eventually find it.

Wow, this us great. This is also good for those who dont want to ship outside of he us. I can have them ship it there and take a nice little drive and get my stuff. This is also great fir when companies offer free shipping within the us. Great info!

I bought some Yokohama tires for my daily driver and expected to pay duty. The reason why I wasn't charged duty is because they were made in the US.
