Over the Border Benefits

Adwa;  I used to attend all my seminars over the boarder and buy what ever I could. I am closer to Detroit than TO. But that was before my horse died.  In this day with our paso (dollar) being worthless It would be insane to figure savings.

For shoppers who purchase equipment over the border should realize that U.S. manufactured equipment is generally not approved by the CSA (Canadian Standards Association). This is a protection agency designed to protect you the buyer and especially your customer. If for instance your carpet cleaning equipment should ever start a fire in your customers home and burn down or even kill someone you will become liable. If the family gets a lawyer who digs up the facts that your equipment is in this country illegally with no seals of approval.

Well by now you should have gotten the message. If not have a plane ticket ready for the islands. Canadian rules are generally more stringent than that of the U.S. Especially when it comes to electricity and water.

How about a baby that mistakingly puts its hand into and unauthorized air mover. Hope you enjoy that island paradise. By the way, is your insurance paid up?

This is a message to scare you into buying Canadian goods that are CSA Approved.

 

la da  la la la...everywhere I go.... I want to post, but will not..

Well if Lee has posted on this one already, why say something thats going to be wrong.  My post says it all....I DON'T AGREE..... My prochem unit isn't CSA approved...at least I don't see a sticker anywhere....my hoses???my wand???my blower??? and I'm quite sure if something happened my liability insurance will pick up the tab.  CSA approved when most stuff comes from the states anyways...try and get a major part...where does it come from...????

let me guess...THE STATES...  CSA approved is only a minor detail, which an isurance company may or may not look at during a claim. 

Say if the sticker fell off??? are they able to check the make and model to see weather it was CSA approved....I think not..

I do my homework.... it has NOT been worth it to buy from the states in the last few years because of the exchange...but if the dollar hits .80 cents... I'll be singing...

OH SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEE....WHAT I GOT FROM THE STATES.... I PURCHASED ONLINE AND IT WAS HERE RIGHT ON TIMEEEEEEE

FROM THE LAND OF THE CHEAP....AND THE HOME OF THE MANUFACTURER

PLAY BALL

 

My ninja isn't either....nor is my blower or rotor

This is all true Ted....but unless the customer is dealing with a big company they don't bother,  half the time they can't find the guy who did the damage...or he has no money even if they do get a settlement...

The guy files bankrupt...and it's over... next week he has a new name and new number....calling all his old customer to advise them of the change, except the ones he screwed...lol

CSA very minor I wouldn't worry about, If you need a piece of electrical equipment from the states and it's cheaper..get it

do you think any of the big bottling plants like Pepsi, molson, minute maid etc. I can tell you 99% of their equipment comes from the states and not one piece is CSA

scare tactics if you ask me

 

Yes Steamer its true the little guy buys cheap and sells his service cheap. He's not good for the industry. As he is passing through to make a quick buck he gives the dedicated cleaner a black eye.

The big guys can't afford not to buy CSA. As everyone wants to sue City Hall where the money is.
