    Default Arko Shave Sticks in Canada

    So several AD's have hit all at once, and I've been going on a bit of a spending spree this month, especially for software. But more to the point does anyone know of a Canadian based retailer who sells Arko shave sticks? Amazon will send one to me for $12 shipped, but that seems to be a little outrageous for a product that retails for lie $3

    Ethnic Turkish stores/grocers often have them. You used to be able to buy a case for cheap on Amazon though.

    Simpson, you know what? PM me your address.. I'll PIF you a stick. I don't think Canada post will hit me too hard for a 75 gram item.

    Default Shipping Blues

    I have no idea about Canada. But as someone who lives in Japan, I can say that, if you really know what you like, order a bunch. If you know you like Arko, order a box of 12 from Amazon and take the hit for shipping. Get what you want and get a bunch of it. Don't fiddle around with a little of this and a little of that. Shipping will kill you. Find it. Get in. Get out.

    You're quite welcome! I just stuffed the enveloppe. I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow. If the postal counter is open, you'll probably get it before next friday.

    Yep, i found out that Palmolive sticks and Arko sticks both are WAAAYYY cheap if you buy in bulk.

    I still haven't tried either, but i'm going to eventually.

    Wow... viva Canada. I just got back from the post office and it seems it would cost close to 11 dollars to ship a 99 cent item to Simpson, who is also in a eastern canadian province. It's kind of appaling when you can order the same item from Turkey for less than 3 dollars includiung shipping.

    Default Any Arko in Canada

    Where do you Canadian badgers get your Arko sticks. Any sites or ebay vendors you trust? I am looking everywhere and all I can find is a few ebay vendors. Thanks!!

    I ordered some on ebay for like $4 shipped but so far it's been 3 weeks and I still don't have it. Coming from Turkey I think.

    Already checked. I don't see it listed. Any time I find some, they won't ship to Canada.

    They won't ship Arko to Canada. Same with VDH. Something to do with not having bilingual packaging. SUCKS!! With that said, I just ordered a few from the shave den, FYI to all you Canadians.
