Canadian Newegg equivalent?

I've been cursing the lack of a good Canadian online electronics/computer shop, because TigerDirect sucks balls. Do any other Canadians know any decent places to order?

    I used a company called NCIX, I didn't have any problems and they seemed to do a good job at a good price. You might want to check them out.

    I SO wish Newegg delivered to canada though. That would just be dreamy.

    I use TigerDirect.ca, they've been pretty good to me. Their prices aren't the best out there, but from what I've seen, they're better than NCIX's...

    I've used NCIX and Tigerdirect so far without issue.

    There is also <a href="http://www.pricecanada.com" target="_blank">http://www.pricecanada.com</a> . Not the best site yet, but it's fairly new. It tries to find all the prices for a product you search, never been a Canadian one before.

    Also, check out <a href="http://www.redflagdeals.com" target="_blank">http://www.redflagdeals.com</a> . <b>Very</b> useful site! Deals, Canadian, in store and online. (edit: Just found this on their site, lists a bunch of stores, not just tech, but maybe you can find some more online stores in the list: <a href="http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/ratings/ratings_all/" target="_blank">http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php...gs/ratings_all/</a> )

    The quality of postage in Canada entirely depends on how fast the dog sleds are.

    Your only real choices are NCIX and TigerDirect. NCIX is usually better, but TD has better prices for a few things (mainly CPUs).

    Well I'm in Montreal and when I ever I need something, I go to Frostys. It's basicly a house used as a store and they usualy have the latest thing. What I like the most about it, it's on the border of the Indian territory (no kiddin) so I don't pay tax and it's still cheaper then practicly all other stores in here. I've been shoping there for close to 4 years and never had any problems.

    I do not know if they do shipments. But its worth checking out.

    That's fantastic, man! I live in Montreal, too, and usually go to MicroBytes because they have spindles of 50 DVDs for like $20, but I'll have to check that out. You say it's on the edge of Indian territory, do you mean it's near the bridge to Kahnawake, or is there another Indian reserve in Montreal that I don't know about?

    Wow lots of Montrealers in this thread... yeah I'm yet another.

    Just wanted to chime in and say that Frosty's is AWESOME... It's a Quebec institution and I still remember seeing TEIONNION'KWATA:SE 's name back in the BBSing days...
