I ordered my sink through them, although it was stainless. For the sink I wanted I found they had the best price. It came incredibly well packed. In terms of packaging it was shipped in a cardboard box that was so stiff it was almost like wood and well protected with styrofoam inside. I also ordered my faucet and soap dispenser from them and they were also well packed. No problems, and they shipped fairly quickly.

Thanks!

Sorry laur66, I'm obsessed with your kitchen! :) In a non-stalking on the internet kind of way! I'm assuming your west coast/GVA from your window style and Disneyland magnet... but I'm GTA. Any issues with customs, shipping, etc? I'm comparing sinks/faucets here, and even through big box stores prices are ~15-25% less in the US, especially with our dollar. Thanks!
Still love your kitchen. Strongly considering a last minute switch to Lexington!

Hi Co-Co,

You are hilarious, and you are right I do live just outside of Vancouver :) I live about 5 minutes away from the US border and what I did when I was ordering anything from the States (and you are right, the prices are considerably less) was have it delivered to a holding place in the States and then I went across and picked it up. That usually saved the shipping costs because it was usually free shipping over $100. If I remember correctly Faucet Direct didn't charge taxes. I didn't have to pay any duty but I did have to pay HST when I came through the border. The thing is if you have it shipped to Canada they automatically charge you the duty/taxes which in many cases I still think works out cheaper.

Thanks for the nice comments about my kitchen :)

I still think that CSN stores has better prices. I went to faucet.com to check the price of the faucet I want, and it is a few dollars more than CSN.
Faucet.com price for Delta 955 Victorian pull-down in Venetian Bronze: $287.71
CSNstores.com price for the same thing: $279.31
I have never, ever seen cheaper prices for apples to apples than CSN, and I've bought all sorts of things from them.

Hi, Follow-up here...
I ended up ordering the Blanco Biscuit colored sink from Home Depot and the Delta faucet (Sevile in ORB) from NationalBuildersSupply.com, as both were priced way below anyone else. Yesterday I received both, in perfect condition!
National Builders did not charge shipping or tax! :)
