Canadian Dance Pads?

Are there any online stores that sell good metal pads that are in Canada? I'd love to purchase a Cobalt Flux or an Afterburner but custom fees would rape me

I do not at all recommend that company. They'll sell you RedOctane stuff that didn't pass QA. It may even still be RO-branded when you get it. And it'll still take forever to ship.

Honestly, I thought they were shut down by RO.

Does anyone else have any experiences with Game Enhancer?

There site does look sketchy, but I don't want to completely disregard because of this alone.

If they aren't worthy, it looks like my only other option would be the eBay way.

What I did was I went to ebay.com (not .ca) because they have x1098723 number of pads, better quality ones too. Then just message the seller and ask if they would ship to Canada for you. Only 1 of 5 sellers I asked said that they would not.
I recommend the seller with the TX-4000/6000 metal/hybrid

The only problem with that is that I will get stuck paying for customs which can be a real killer. Finding Canadian sellers is going to save me a fortune if I go to the right place.

Well, I've been looking into it for over a month. Game Enhancer is the only supplier I could find, but the pads apparently suck.

Just letting you know that you wont find a TX-___ or Cobalt Flux or BlueShark retailer in Canada. Maybe start asking for used ones?

I live in Canada, and I threw the idea of buying a metal pad out the window a long time ago because of customs and shipping. Even if you buy off e-bay, the shipping is going to be jacked up to over $100 because you're Canadian.

Do what I did. Build your own

they don't cost a fortune to ship to canada as long as you don't live in the middle of nowhere. All the U.S. companies that sell dance pads the worst part about it is really the customs.

I got myself a flux and it ended up being especially expensive once the customs charges were factored in which was over 100 dollars

. At least it was worth it though since i have had it for 3 months and it still works well.

Where did you order it from? I am looking for a US shop that will ship to Canada.

Mind you, I will need a good metal pad also... bouncing my 250lbs(well fit) around needs something strong to land on

www.cobaltflux.com from their online shop. The company is in Salt Lake city Utah. They do ship to canada but be prepared to spend over 500 canadian once customs and taxes are included from fedex for a cobalt flux

However many would agree that it is the best homepad you can buy that will be shipped to Canada. They have excellent customer service too

As much as I have a good job, house, wife and all I find it hard to justify 400-500$ Can. for a dance mat for a "game"... even worst is I might have 2 to order

I'll ponder it and see...
