Default Race ramps

Hi there.
Within Canada, does anyone know where I could buy Race Ramps?
Specifically: (Race Ramps RR-XT-2 67-Inch XT 2-Piece Race Ramp).
I have seen several members using them.
They are hard to find, or I must not be looking on the right sites.
And the sites that have them (in Canada) are charging 2 times the regular price.
If anyone has a set that laying around or not using them, I would be open to buying it from them
if they would like to sell them.

Thanks

Depending upon your location in Canada, it may be possible to pick up the ramps at a border town in the USA. Just about all Race Ramps resellers ship the ramps for free to destinations in the Continental USA.

I believe they maybe these ones below and as you've stated Taz, that's very expensive in Canada.


https://www.amazon.ca/Race-Ramps-RR-XT-2-67-Inch-2-Piece/dp/B003ZAHTC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532602385&sr=8-1&keywords=race+ramps+rr-xt-2 https://www.amazon.ca/Race-Ramps-RR-XT-2-67-Inch-2-Piece/dp/B003ZAHTC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532602385&sr=8-1&keywords=race+ramps+rr-xt-2

Race Ramps RR-XT-2 67-Inch XT 2-Piece Race Ramp $722.24

EDIT:
I'm not sure of your location, but as Fred has stated, ordering from Summit Racing ($345/ US) and having it shipped to a depot, (CBI), then picking it up and paying the tax maybe the best option.

i have some ramps i made of 2x10. ramps and then drive the carr all the way on them, made them full length so i could put the car up and be level. made them 3 pieces per side so i could move the center section away with just the wheels supported. Used it for a few years until i purchased quick jack.
if you interested will sell my ramps. all new wood, approx 10 - 12" high.

I don't understand the $722 reference. The link I sent is very clear:
"Race Ramps RR-XT 67" XT Race Ramp

They have them for more if you want to pay it though!

The ones in the link you sent are one piece. The other link posted allows you to separate them. I do agree that a $325 mark up for what effectively is a cut is ridiculous. Better to buy off the Amazon US site even with the exchange and duties.

...from Taz's post he is looking for the 2pc.

Taz...check out http://www.crossborderpickups.ca. You ship to their US location, they bring it to one of their depots in Mississauga or Markham which avoids a trip to Buffalo. They pay the duties and taxes for you (no brokerage fee). You pay a fee based on the size/weight of the box and reimburse them for the duties paid on your behalf. Have used them twice now and everything has gone smooth as silk.

The description on the ones I sent said 2 piece available so I assumed same price. In hindsight I think you are right. The Canada site does have 56 inch 2 piece for $275
