Default Canadian version of Monoprice?

I know it's been posted before, but I can't find it by searching. Somebody in the past had given a Canadian site that was just like Monoprice. I'm looking for a very specific length of optical cable that Monoprice does not carry.

If anybody recalls the site, or has another site they order cables from, let me know.

www.cablesonsale.ca imports in bulk monoprice stuff then re-sells to save on the shipping/import costs. I've used them and had no issues.

I haven't used infinitecables.com, so I can't comment on them.

But I've ordered several cables and stuff from primecables.com, which is a sister site of 123inkcartridges.ca. The shipping is only $5 if you don't want expedited, and it becomes free if you hit a certain about, around $40 I think.

They also have coupon codes now and then, so check online for those. So far I had found free shipping coupons if your order hit like $10, or a discount of 15% or something, and the discount was enough to negate the shipping cost.

The cables are cheap, and the quality is good. Shipping is from either Montreal or Vancouver, depending on stock levels and what item you order.

Have you checked Amazon? I see Monoprice stuff on there now, some shipping directly from Amazon Canada.

Be careful with this. Apparently a lot of the stuff still comes from California despite saying Amazon Canada. People have been dinged with a bunch of import fees they didn't expect.

Have to make sure the seller is Amazon then your good. They only have warehouses in Ontario or BC.
