Hi Guys,
Could you please give your recommendations about the follows:
Is there any good Canadian Online retailer?
Is there US retailer that will ship to Canada with modest shipping rates?Regards,
May 23, 2008 at 2:07 pm #1434687One of the best Canadian retailers (with good house brand stuff too) is Mountain equipment co-op.

May 23, 2008 at 6:32 pm #1434711I`ve had good luck with smaler retailers or some of the large ones. Usualy if their normal sized and they quote you something excessive you can usually get a fair price on shipping by asking for regular post.
I should add that Prolite gear is not one of those retailers.May 23, 2008 at 8:16 pm #1434717nm
May 31, 2008 at 7:25 am #1435904Retailer of what? What are you wanting to purchase? I'm from Canada and I buy almost everything from BPL, GG, and MLD… but those are one of a kind items you can't buy anywhere else. For general stuff, I've bought stuff from Prolite and even REI once. The most obvious answer is the MEC. The only reason I don't buy anything online from the MEC is because I'm lucky enough to have one in my home town.

But, when it comes to the UL stuff, you just have to suck it up and pay. I have dealt with most of the cottage manufactureres and haven't had any shipping problems other then having to pay fees when the item gets here.
