Definitely call them. They are decent to deal with.
I got a returned motor from them that way. Awesome deal in my opinion.

no problems... just challenges
I'm running a unit I purchased from ISS INTERNATIONAL Inc in Coquitlam
So far, it's been great.
Found them by way of FB Marketplace...
Unlike most sellers, this guy provides proof of purchase.
Will gladly provide tech support, and stands behind his gear.
It was under 350 plus shipping

Would it work for you if I bought an inexpesive one off Amazon, repackaged it and put some maple leaf stickers on it and said it was a product of Canada?

@jcdammeyer - thanks for the link, I've never bought directly from any of the off shore merchants but I may do this. I can get $100 vfd's online that are made in China but delivered from somewhere else but I can see cutting out the middle man.
@kstrauss - Just to clarify, I was never asking for a Made-in-Canada product as I never found one and don't believe there is one. Canadian suppliers (that I've found) of VFD's don't seem to sell the inexpensive, read cheap, units.
To the Moderators - I have no issue with you deleting what may be considered by some political rhetoric but implanting your words in place of mine,,,,,, not cool.

Fixed. I inserted my own words in an attempt to make sure the reader understood you were kidding. With the politics removed it read like you were serious. I apologize.

If you buy a low buck Chinese vfd it is a good idea to buy a unit rated about 750 watts higher than the motor it will power. I used one on a milling machine and have another on my drill press and followed this strategy. Both units have been very reliable and are still in use years later.
If I buy Chinese I will probably get one with double the output of what the motor is rated. The VFD will be used in a hostile environment (belt grinder) so I really don't want to spend $400 on a TECO and then subject it to that kind of abuse. I only need it to output three phase to run the motor.
