For some reason a lot of online stores only ship to the US, the only good places I found for buying PC hardware so far are Tigerdirect.ca and a local computer shop. Any suggestions?

http://www.ncix.com/ sometimes shipping can be high, but then again they are a Canadian store with a building in Wash. State, and a few Retail stores in Canada.

They have manufacturer reps that visit the site and reply in their built in forum. Overall I like them.

www.directcanada.com - they in BC, so if you are outside of BC, you don't have to pay PST . Plus free shipping on orders over $300. They are the same owners as ncix.com, but with less stuff, worse customer service, and generally slightly better prices.

directcanada and ncix are usually the best places in my opinion since you save on PST (%8) if you are outside of BC.

PS. tigerdirect.com is one of the worst places to buy computer stuff in Canada. Their prices are mediocre, and there shipping prices are a rip-off.

Hey; I have a few that I use.

www.infonec.com
www.ncix.com
www.canadacomputers.com
www.pcvillage.com
www.redflagdeals.com (finds sales on all of these particular sites).
www.tigerdirect.ca

That is all I can think of right now (except for local shops near me). If I think of any more; I will tell you.

*Note: These are all Canadian sites, that ship generally to Canada only. Good luck in your search!

I use to work there years ago when they only had 1 store in Kingston.

Order from NCIX. then any price that DirectCanada has cheeper... quote it in their price match...
get teh best of both worlds... better service and selection(NCIX) cheaper parts from anywhere else...
they have never not matched a pricematch yet as long as store your using has it listed in their online stock.

Another one is Memory Express. I have shopped there before and are happy with their service. If you live in Alberta or Manitoba, you can walk into one of their stores also.

For some smaller items, London Drugs also sales tech.

I never knew NCIX Price-matched... otherwise I would have ordered many more items from them. Thanks for the info!
That is also sweet about working for the original Canada Computers... I live near Toronto (one hour North East), so we generally have some fairly decent prices and products available in local stores.
