Dave;

I'm sorry to report that the link you provided is to the main company website, in Ontario, California, USA. All prices are in USD, as I expected. If there is a different URL to a Canadian affiliate, please correct your link.

That link just goes to some artists /graphic designer / leatherworker's ( yours ? ) facebook page..nice work..but no mention of it being a Cowboy machine official dealer..That said , I think that Bob once mentioned he had an official dealer here in France , and when I looked them up they had no website, no business registration number etc just an email address ( not very confidence inspiring considering the cost of the machines )..maybe the simplest thing would be to phone Cowboy..or Neil's Saddlery ( I can never work out who out of those two is the official importer / manufacturer in the USA..of what I think is a "Global" machine ) and ask them who, if anyone, is their official dealer in Canada.

I see their FB banner has a blurb about Cobra machines and links to Leather Machine Co.

A search shows only a FB page, no website for Skinner Leather.  See also company info https://heycompanies.ca/0617678/Skinner_Leather_-_Ottawa_based_Leather_Worker

I don't know the fellow personally, I just saw that he posted on his Skinner Leather FB page that he is now an authorized dealer for Leather Machine Company. Probably best thing is to send him a message through Facebook enquiring. I'm aware of him only because he is also a member of the 'Tips and Tricks with Cobra Class Leather Working Equipment' FB group.

I bought a 4500 off Bob a few years ago and drove to Toledo to pick it up.I wanted to see the ins ands outs of it and see how it worked.I took it back across the boarder and only had to pay HST.If I had stayed  24 hours they said they could allowed some off.There was no problem at all.I was only stopped maybe 20 min.They were real good to deal with. Bob was great to deal with and I was glad I took the time to go and meet him.

HBARK thanks for your experience. Did  you pay any tax with Bob or just our HST? and great to hear they didn't charge you any duty.

I only paid HST. I showed them the bill of sale and they were good with that.I also had one of his adds from the Harness Shop with me.They looked at it but I didn't really need that.

Just a note of interest.  When I bought my machine  Cowboy 4500   Leightons price for virtually the same machine  ( juki 441 clone ) was 2 and a 1/2  times ( picked up at his place), what mine cost me INCLUDING shipping from Toledo  and I got just about every optional foot and needle plate included. When I ordered needles from him they were 3 time the price in Winnipeg.
