    Hi everyone,

    I wanted to order a pair of Ringside IMF Tech training gloves and a couple of extra goodies but the shipping options just don't make sense here.

    I'm in Montreal, Canada, and they require paying 75 dollars for shipping through FedEx. They refuse to offer the Air Mail option to Canada.

    Is there any place where I can get those Ringside gloves except for their online and phone orders? Is there any local store that offers them?

    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, they don't have the gloves I am looking for.

    Worst thing about ordering from title or ringside (or I guess any US site, I don't shop online much) when you live in Canada is on top of the high shipping fees, you get nailed with customs fees.

    Basically everything ends up costing double the listed price.

    Ringside IMF Tech Training Gloves - Lace Cuff

    So far, I have been out of luck to find any without paying the Ringside shipping charges.

    Well if you want some good gloves from Canada then go to Rivalboxing.com They are located in Canada and the gloves are just as good

    Thanks for all the help. But I got tired of trying to find the ones with laces. I turned to Grant Boxing and ordered a pair of their gloves. Should do a great job, along with their extra long Mexican handwraps!

    question, do gloves have to fit your hand perfectly?? I'm using 14 oz and they feel kinda loose, i was thinking of buy 10 or 12 oz but I've always thought that 14-16 oz gloves are perfect for training purposes.. should i buy the lighter gloves or just put more wraps in my hand??

    Custom fees are nothing. Its the brokerage companies that are sticking it up your ass. If you live close to the border, get an American shipping address and bring them over youself.
    Declare them.
    Customs will charge you the the applicable tax.
    Thats it.
