Buying a pole in Canada

shiningstar949429 started this discussion · 1/30/2015

Hello fellow polers!! I recently decided I want to buy a pole :) However, I live in Canada and the x-pole prices+shipping here are super high.. I've heard I can buy a pole from studio veena but when I go to checkout it doesn't let me put canada as a shipping address (only US)! Long story short, does anyone know how I can get a pole in Canada without paying 100$ in shipping? Thank you so much, in advance :)

Hey - I spent a good 6 months researching everything I could. I live in Canada, and in the end the best bang for my loonie was the x pole. It was $80 shipping... all in all I ended up paying $500 CAD. It will probably be more because the loonie sucks lately, but it is worth every penny (or nickel now I guess lol!).

Hey Shiningstar! I also live in Canada, and I purchased the Studio Veena pole when it was available (it's discontinued now). Prior to that I had purchased a pole through my local studio, now closed. Shipping for my SV pole WAS quite a lot, but... I sort of just took it as part of the expense of buying a pole in the first place. They're expensive, but they are also awesome. The closest you can get to the Veena pole is the 45mm powder coated pole from Lil Mynx. But, honestly, you should find the pole you want most, and know that the price is definitely worth it.

Hi guys! I just bought my first pole about three weeks ago, and I also decided to go with Xpole, after a ton of research. I bought mine directly from the Xpole Canada site, and shipping was $50, though I'm not sure if that price was in American dollars. I think it shipped from Ontario (I am in BC), and it took a week to get here. I ended up paying $475 total for my pole, which I was fine with, because I knew it was going to be expensive no matter what! It was totally worth it though, I love my pole! It is such a great feeling when it arrives :)

If you are in Ontario, there is an online xpole dealer called pole monkey that lets you pick up from their warehouse instead of paying shipping.

I bought mine directly from Xpole about 2 weeks ago, and it was $395 Canadian, including shipping and taxes. I live in Ontario.
