I placed my first order from POR-15 out of QC on the 22nd. Arrived today via Canada Post. I was very happy with the turn around time. The products are fairly pricey but they claim that anything else is inferior. I ordered their Heavy Duty Motorcycle gas tank repair kit. I noticed their site was a little dicey in the ordering process so I made sure to leave a comment of exactly what I wanted as there were two different choices for the same product. Sure enough, It shows up in my PO Box today and it was missing the tank stripper bottle. I wasn't surprised as most of you know I am a magnet for shit not going quite right. I called immediately in my "slightly perturbed man voice" and the fellow on the other end was great, diffused the situation, said there were a few bugs with their new website and he would send it right out free of charge. Being the honest fellow that I am I said well you only charged me for the kit without the stripper and he said I know, but it's my fault that I didn't read your comment stating you wanted it, it's on me. I couldn't find POR-15 anywhere in the Maritimes so if anyone else is looking to order one of their products check out their website but I recommend calling in your order... www.por15canada.com/shop/

well all is not lost then, it would have cost me more to drive to New Glasgow and get it. Shipping was only $18. Good to know though!!

F*CK yeah! it's been a long time since I've felt like an idiot on the phone. Called Locke's Marine Sales and service and the guy on the other end had no idea what I was talking about, then he finally explained he's not the "paint" guy. Paint guy called me back, said they can't get it. Only place around here is Sparkles auto restoration on PEI and Parts Source (as listed above) in Lower Sackville. I am just ordering online from now on.
