I’m looking for some alternatives to Best Buy and Amazon please. TYIA!
Turns out that Canada Computers (https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/content/4/about-us) is Canadian!
Went to check the locations since this had me curious. Unfortunately not locations here in Alberta, but really want to say I’m impressed that they use OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps for their locations directory.
Out west you have memoryexpress
I like the one in Victoria!
I didn’t even notice that - good catch!
London Drugs and Memory Express are Canadian options in Alberta.
I’ve used Canada Computers for some bulk purchases and had things shipped pretty quickly. Really enjoyed working with them.
Canada Computers is great. I live in BC and I’ve built numerous computers from parts I got from them.
Memory Express is Canadian from what I remember
Thank you. Looks like they’re still Canadian! https://www.memoryexpress.com/
Depends what you are looking for but don’t forget London Drugs. They actually have a lot of stuff! No large appliances I think but from smaller appliances to computers, camera gear, cables and hard drives to headphones etc. If you don’t have one close by they ship Canada wide!
Thank you!
Visions is Canadian. Memory Express is predominantly computers, but also Canadian.
Sayal Electronics for your DIY electronics, DIPs and ICs, DIY A/V components, bulk cable, hobby and educational kits, kids learning toys, etc. They are headquartered in Northern Toronto and have a few locations in the GTA, and ship Canada-wide. They often beat Amazon in price for slightly more reliable components.
Here’s my list for hobby electronics, industrial electronics, and components:
- https://www.e-sonic.com/ - Canadian components distributor (like Digikey, Mouser, etc.)
- https://www.qfautomation.com/ - Industrial PLCs etc
- https://www.electro5.com/en/ - Industrial PLCs etc
- Pishop.ca, based in Ottawa
- Canakit.com (supplier of raspberry pi and related things), based in North Van (sadly, no local pickups though)
- https://bc-robotics.com/ Nanaimo based electronics retailer
- https://www.solarbotics.com/ Calgary based retailer and manufacturer
- https://jtsoutdoorfabrics.com/ - Ontario based seller of outdoor notions like buckles webbing etc cheap prices.
- https://www.circuittest.com/ - Burnaby-based brand of power supplies, etc. Not made in Canada, but they test them for CSA/UL here and distribute them under their own brand.
- https://mroelectronics.com/shop/ - Cable, antenna, RF stuff
- https://leeselectronic.com/en/ - Vancouver store with tons of components, etc.
- https://www.rpelectronics.com/ - Vancouver-area store
- https://shop.interiorelectronics.com/ - Several locations in BC, components, etc.
Gibby’s Electronics Supermarket in St Catharines has more home theater equipment than computer parts, but they have a great selection and you generally won’t beat their prices anywhere else, and they ship.
Thanks! Is this them? https://gibbyselectronicsupermarket.ca/
