+1 on product like Ecotech. The sticker price on Canadian websites will almost always be higher than what you see on an American manufacturer's site, but by the time you factor in international shipping, the exchange rate, and customs fees, it often works out being in your favour to order from the Canadian site that gets a better rate on all that by ordering it in large quantities and wholesale.

Canada gets screwed in general in the land of online shopping. That 49th parallel isn't just an imaginary line on a map, it's a magical barrier who's secret power is to make anything that passes it more expensive.

You can thank our founding fathers for that.

ETA: Scratch that, not "almost always higher", it's always higher. 100% of the time. The Canadian site/store/vendor will never charge a lower sticker price than the American competition for products that are not manufactured in Canada. Such is the burden of living in America's hat.
