hardware e-stores that ship to Canada? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

sandeep · 03-26-2004, 03:40 PM

I've been using ncix.com for a year or so now, and I've been happy with them. The thing is, I was looking for perhaps some other sites that people use and trust for both reliability and pricing.

Newegg seems to be the standard, but they ship to the US only.

Any suggestions or recommended sites that you've used or have heard of being used would be appreciated. I just want to make sure that I'm always gettting the best price from NCIX.

Thanks in advance. This is something I've been meaning to ask for a while.

Getting stuff shipped out of the US is really expensive. Your best bet for stores that ship to Canada are stores that are in Canada. There aren't a ton of good ones, but here are three:

Vibe Computers
Bigfoot Computers (mostly a modding store)
Tiger Direct

Tiger Direct actually ships stuff from the states to their Canadian place, but because of the way they have it set up it is just like buying from a Canadian company, there are no duties, etc.

Check out RedFlagDeals for Canadian deals on computer stuff and more.

Hope this helps

http://www.pccanada.com
http://www.canadacomputers.com

Both located in canada, and I'm positive that they also can order hardware that isn't listed on their site.

I haven't found anything better than NCIX, but I will check out Blistex's links.

Edit: From a quick look-through, it looks like NCIX still has a better selection, and www.canadacomputers.com prices seem more comparable to NCIX than www.pccanada.com

But sign up for NCIX's weekly newsletter/sale flyer and you can get more sale prices on selected items that make it even more favourable to your wallet.

And Kaos, the newsletter has some goodies in it, I've been signed up for some time now.

I'll give the others a looking-through once I get a chance. Thanks again. (If there's any others that come to mind, I would love to hear about them.)
