Shopbot changed their site some time ago (sold out perhaps?), and it's flat out terrible now.

A lot of people use camel camel camel now to watch prices and retailers. I don't have much experience with them tho.

Another good place to buy components although I think they are mostly a retail shop, but they do ship. They are well known in the Montreal area and they have been around for over 20 years I think. I haven't dealt with them recently though, but when I did a few years ago the service was excellent.

Is anybody familiar with VL Canada? I've been seeing a lot of links to them on RFD lately, but it's possible that they're posting those links themselves... :)

https://www.vlcanada.com/

If anybody here has used them and is willing to vouch for them as being legit I'll add them to the list.

Never heard of them, but not that that really means much, BUT did you click on any of their component pages.....

Monitors - only 10, and all AOC
Motherboards - "This collection is empty"
Power Supplies - "This collection is empty"
CPUs - nothing but Ryzen

Didn't really check pricing, but with a selection THAT poor, I can't imagine too many folks shoppin' there.... :whistle:

They're obviously new(ish) but what's somewhat intriguing is their focus on "feature brands" like cablemods.

This one's been popping up on Shopbot recently-ish: https://www.gamercan.com/ Not really sure if they are good/bad, but generally seem to have competitive pricing. They list a Toronto address, so don't think they're affiliated with any others.
