Do any of you guys read more than what the OP posted?
The Trade Ex website clearly states what is happening with them.
We are open and processing mail order sales with limited staff. Unfortunately no appointments or curb side pick ups are available until further notice.
have decided to downsize T.E.C. Trade Ex Canada. Inc. considerably, by slowing down on purchases and reducing inventory.
we are not closing, we are just simplifying things for ourselves.
The replies I see here are from people who never looked for the information themselves but instead read the headline, made assumptions, and went with what the other guy said. This is EXACTLY why the mainstream media posts juicy bold headlines in their news feed. People only read headlines. That's how easy it is to manipulate people.
To summarize:
Trade-Ex is not closing.
They are reducing inventory and will be running the business as a hobby from now on.
They do not take appointments for curbside pickup.
To some this may seem like onspiracy theories, but its posted on the Trade-Ex website homepage.
