Just a heads-up, while many of the stuff they sell are actual products of Canada (i.e. grown here, too), a lot of them are only packaged in Canada. They do list the country of origin, so you can easily buy NotAmerican ™️

I don't know why it is a lot more expensive to buy from their website compared to amazon

Great question. I've only ever purchased their stuff through Amazon, but would prefer to purchase directly through them. Maybe email them to ask, because cutting Amazon out of the equation should be a win/win for us and them.

It is 15$ more expensive for the pin nuts

There really is no reason why, though. Maybe it's easier for them to have Amazon fulfill orders directly, so they discourage purchasing directly? I have no idea. I don't work for the company, but they are Canadian and sell Canadian products, so...

Many companies do this when they sell through Amazon because it cuts out packing and shipping individual orders. Sucks balls honestly. Flood then with direct requests at the same price point.
