I was going to place an order for the Cabela's tumbler today also.  If you order two, I'll take the second one.

If the tumbler naturally migrates to Kingston or Mississauga, all the better - but I'm in no rush to get it (I don't have much use for a tumbler while at school).  If re-shipping is prohibitive, I can come pick it up at some point.

Let me know if you want me to PayPal you the money for good faith.

Ok, so thankfully this is figured out thanks to Andrew.

The links Corey and Ian posted were the the Americian site, in order to be able to order fromt he US you had to have a minimum of 2 tumblers on the order.

From the Canadian site you can order just 1.  So thanks to the people that offered if you still want to do joint shipping on a tumbler fromt he Canadian site I'm fine with that.  

FYI:

I just called a local Gun Shop... The Frankford Arsanault "Quick & Easy Tumber" model is on for $56.95.

I called Shooters Choice in Waterloo (866) 257-7270.  I'm sure they could ship it....

First off when searching for one of these they are called a "Vibratory Tumbler" or "Case Tumbler". Small tumblers come in two types this type and a rotary tumbler.

I just picked up one of these from Gator Mountain in the U.S. for $80. Not the size of the mammoth unit you got from Lebaron's Vengeance but big enough for what I have found a need for. Anything bigger goes into my buddies bead cabinet and usually is something zinc plated that I have second thoughts about stripping the finish off of.



Lebaron's is a dealer of this exact unit so they probably just need to order it in. Nice thing is anyone I spoke to and read of that uses it says it has been fast and bullet proof over years of operation. It is surprisingly quiet as well.

Looking at Cabela's although cheaper the shipping costs sucked as it would on any unit. Probably the best "shipped" deal around though.

Cabela's also carries this same RCBS unit.

They also carry this Hornaby unit that looks almost identical to the one I bought other than color and markings.



There is this one that seems to be always on Ebay dirt cheap but it looked from the pics like a POS and shipping made it not worthwhile. DISCLAIMER I could be dead wrong on the appearance and looks could be deceiving.

I also found this same unit sold as the "Chicago Electric Tools" Vibratory Tumbler and could be bought from Harbor Freight. End of the day I assume 99% of these units in the sub $200 market are manufactured offshore and probably are the same unit sold under various names with slight variations.

Yes you can get fancy with media but for clean and polish gun guys are using Hartz 100% corn cob kitty litter with some Brasso or Nu-Finish mixed in to polish and cut down the dust. They are also using a walnut media that is used for bird cage lining. Both I am being told are sold at Walmart for a fraction of the cost of other media and work equally well, but I have yet to check.

End of the day I would say it might be worth asking LeBaron's to bring in the unit that you want and wait. Shipping seems to be the overriding factor on bringing in a lower cost unit. Unless you have a company that absorbs your shipping cost then I would go with the local supplier and kick in the extra you would have paid for shipping into getting a slightly better unit. Shipping I was looking at was around $35 to get it here plus border B.S.
