Where to buy filament (Canada)

Post by colin » Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:20 am

I was wondering where everyone in Canada gets there filament from? I was really hoping to buy makergear filament but to order 3 rolls costs almost $70 US in shipping which could be another 2 rolls plus with a low canadian dollar that adds up to more like $80. Any places in Canada to order from to avoid these high shipping costs but still get good quality filament? I checked out http://www.bootsindustries.com/ but they are out of stock for a number of colours and have a limited variety.

jim, I did start a discussion on this before but didn't get any suggestions other that boot industries. botfeeder.ca is only doing pre-orders to be delivered in June or July. I am hoping to get this within a week if possible.

Did you try Amazon? I've had good luck with the Sainsmart PLA they sell, don't know if it's available in their Canada store but I suspect they have at least a few options. Use reviews can help identify good and bad brands.
