Canadian Buyers

[Tsuwamono]

Where do you get your stuff? The only sites i have found are

NCIX
Tiger Direct
Extreme - PC
Can Computers

Anyone have better ones? The only ones i trust really are NCIX and Tiger Direct. I ordered from Extreme PC for my GPU and they charged me an extra 50$ shipping for my GPU because i lived in Quebec or something.

I order from NCIX or http://www.allyourbaseonline.com/store/ (they are very good, despite their crappy site)

I just ordered from Extreme PC for some Klipsch speakers and they didn't charge me extra (I Live in Montreal).. I hope it turns out well, never ordered from them.

i didnt have a problem with them other then the overcharge. Actually i prefer them over tiger because tiger just dumped my stuff on my porch and left while Extreme PC needed me to sign to say i recieved it.

Edit: is that site you gave me in CDN? prices seem really low if they are

NCIX is good, Tiger Direct is a huge ripoff.

Also try:

http://www.pccanada.com/ <== enthusiast shop, usually gets new gear in before anyone else (Conroe). Prices are good.
http://www.canadacomputers.com/ <== competitive prices, free ground shipping.
http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/ <== case mod and cooling specialists. Lots of watercooling parts.
http://www.logiccomputerhouse.com/site/main.php <== competitive prices.

Tip: buy from a different province, save on the PST.

Quoting Tsuwamono:

That's the couriers fault. UPS does that to me all the time. My neighbour came over one day with a box UPS dumped on my step in the rain. Lucky for me, my neighbour saved a $1000 worth of computer parts from a wet death. He got a "two-four" as a thankyou (that's Canadian for a case of 24 bottles of beer for you foreigners) .

Or lvie in Alberta, where there is no PST

I don't know what happened to a thread on my Favorites; it had a whole list of hardware retailers in Canada.

Here's an older thread with some more.

Also, TankGuys will ship to Canada, & they are sometimes willing to order in products too if they don't have it listed on their site.

Just need to look at the roads in Edmonton to know they could use a couple of tax dollars.

I find ncix the best, but must admit to buying the occasional thing from future shop - as they do have the odd good sale price.

damnit! none of these places offer that ECS board that newegg had. This blows lol
