I understand that the cost of doing business here is perhaps a bit more than in the US (actually our corporate taxes are the same as or lower than in the US) ... but certainly not 32% more.

This is the kind of thing that drives me and a lot of other Canadians off the deep end - this is why I go to the states every couple of weeks to pick up dozens of packages for me, my family and you guys. This is why I get up at 5:30 am on Saturdays to be at the border for 7:00 - because I refuse to support the inequity.

Bottom line: either Weathertech is ripping off Northern Performance, or Northern is ripping us off.

Unless someone has a rational explanation that makes sense I will not be buying weathertech in this country.

i know this is really old but i just seen this. the major reason for the preice is freight our price includes freight and the us doesnt you have to pay additional cost on the shipping

but we also have to pay taxes/duties/brokerage to get it to us

plus it also pays my salary :p

incases where we live close to the boarder it may be cheap for us to go across the border and pick it up their and not have to drive to far into the states
