I'm looking for a parts store that is either in Canada or will ship to Canada. I've been doing some web searches but so far have come up empty. with the exception of Flippers.com in BC, but they are taking forever and a day, to try and get my order together, and I'm very tired of waiting for them to even start putting my order together. So I need to find someone else I can use. any help would be great thanks.
 
I'm with TigerStyle. Chad over at lizard lick is awsome. Fast and reasonable shipping rates.

I used to deal with Starburst but they are expensive. I only buy from them now if I am in a pinch.
 
Most of the popular US-based part stores will ship to Canada, but some are more "international order-friendly" than others. Here are some sites that I frequent. All of these ship using only USPS now, so you don't have to worry about bullshit brokerage fees like with FedEx and UPS.

http://therealbobroberts.net/ - Charges actual USPS shipping costs. He doesn't accept PayPal or credit cards though, so you have to buy a postal money order in USD, which will cost you about $6 and a trip to the post office. Ordering is done through email only. (although worth the hassle - Bob is awesome)

www.arcadeshop.com - Charges actual shipping costs based on the service you request (e.g. First-Class, Priority) and they take credit cards. Ordering is done over the phone.

www.quarterarcade.com - Minimum $50 international order :rolleyes:, they take credit cards and PayPal, they apparently charge a few bucks over the actual shipping costs for handling/packaging. Ordering can be done online, but they don't give you a final shipping cost until after you place your order.

www.mikesarcade.com - They take credit cards and PayPal and seem to charge actual shipping costs. (i.e. $7 for small items, $25 for larger but presumably via Priority Int'l ) Total price is given during checkout, but you don't get to choose the shipping method.

www.lizardlick.com - Online ordering, payment by PayPal, gives you shipping quotes during checkout and lets you choose which shipping method you want.

www.jammaboards.com - Online ordering, payment by PayPal or credit card, gives you shipping quotes during checkout and lets you choose which shipping method you want.

www.twistedquarter.com - Online ordering, payment by PayPal, gives you shipping quotes during checkout. They only use USPS Priority, so you're looking at minimum $21 even for a $0.25 part.
