Does anyone know of any good online suppliers in Canada?

Be careful when ordering from buy.com. They ship from the US and you WILL get dinged that rediculous $15 UPS customs charge to collect $2 worth of GST + $5 disbursement charge =$22 surcharge on a $30 order. Maybe things have changed since I bought a Sidewinder from them for $5+$5 shipping + $22 UPS charges... MORE than retail but they don't tell you that.

Stick with onvia.ca since they have free shipping. Usually by UPS (who leaves packages on your doorstep in plain sight without ringing the doorbell... almost had a CD burner stolen that way...) or Purolator...

Okie dokie... enough ranting... 😀😛😉
 
Yeah gotta love UPS left my $600+ monitor in the porch, not exactly a gentle trip here either, luckily it aint exactly portable and my sister was home to drag it inside for me. Wish they would have stuck with Purolator or went to Fedex. But UPS in the states so no surprise.

Not sure about buy.com but shipping and prices are no worse than most places, my order was end of March so things may have changed.
 
Its ok Neil, theres no need to "save" yourself from this forum. Most Anandtech buyers look through the reseller ratings before they purchase anything. As for what happened, we are from 2 different business environments and I was completely offended by the fact I was to work for you at a very low standard "pay". I would have ended up wasting a lot of my time revamping your site for a just a CPU(maybe a big priceto pay for you), however in professional web graphics it costs far more than that to Market your website.

I wish you luck on your business, and no hard feelings what-so-ever. However, please refine your own professionalism.
 
BigfootComputers is the most unprofessional site I ever dealt with. I placed an order, got a reply a couple of days later saying it would be taken care of the Same day, then didn't hear from them for over a month, not even responding to my e-mails. I got tired of waiting, and seeing how I could never reach them, I placed the order a second time, and didn't hear from them again. The only way I got them to reply was when I sent an e-mail to cancel my order... TOO LATE! Good thing I wasn't paying by credit card.

I ended up buying the same stuff from Getoverclocked.com, and everything went perfectly. I'd also recommend NCIX.com, and of course Onvia.ca , but stay away from bigfoot if you want your stuff before next summer...

Oxycom is also a good place, but prices aren't really amazing.


edit- BTW Dexion, the design you had looks better than their current site...
 
I bought over $500 of stuff from bigfoot, never any trouble.
Q500, Kt7(still no time to test it yet), sivler paste, some screws...
I dunno man...
 
lots of factors, fire, growing pains, like beating a dead horse =)

shop where you are comfortable guys, on behalf of myself and my staff you have my deepest apologies for past problems.
