BlindVending Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 As title says I am wondering where canadians are getting their gumballs and candy from. I don't see costco having gumballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyW Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've found some at my local bulk barn, there's another place I've heard about getting them. I'll email someone and get back to you on that.

Action Vending Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 That's because they can trade with Cuba and buy cheap sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sugar like nearly all US crops are price supported and import protected under Federal regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I would call Actionmatic and find out where distributors are http://www.actionmatic.com/ , they are in Canada They used to drop ship for me and I think it was Tj King that had a deal where they could ship across the border less expensive too. If you buy 250lbs at a time you can go direct to Oak leaf. you have to pay for shipping, but in the US, after 500lbs you get free freight. If you don't want to go quite that big, call Oak Leaf or Concord and ask them where their local distributors are in your area. www.sweetworks.com for Oakleaf Not sure about Concord, I thik AAGlobal has a freight deal so they can ship up there too.

BlindVending Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 For americans I do not disagree. For canadians with shipping (only 30 cases at a time at this point) its about $43 a box. Tjking is even cheaoer currently. We get dinged with taxes, and import fees on top of the shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindVending Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 You could try this. http://concord.cylex.ca/company/concord-confections-inc--16686347.html Even tho the company is located 45 mins from me, all bulk orders have to be dealt with (shipped) from their Chicago, IL warehouse. Hilarious. We make the candy here, but cannot buy it. lol. Impex looks to be the one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
