Where do Canadians Shop?

Postby Nevermore » Tue Mar 15, 2011 2:19 pm

Hello!

Question for the Canadians out there. I have been having a heck of a time finding an online shop to buy things such as toys, treats, and Avix Sunshine Factor for my GCC that doesn't include shipping costs of anywhere from $18 - $90 dollars.

So my question is; ARE there any good, trustworthy online stores for parrot accessories that don't charge an arm and a leg in shipping, or in product price for Canadian owners?

I would love to be able to visit a store to buy some of this stuff as well, but none of the ones I have in my area (PetSmart, Pet Paradise, Olivers, to name a few) carry any of the things I am interested in getting.

Any help would be great,

:gcc: Nevermore

I've bought from all of these Canadian online stores. I found shipping and prices to be reasonable.

Thank you! Jack is going to be so happy when he sees what I got him. And it didn't cost an arm-and-a-leg either!

Forgot to list your store. Her toys have been a great hit in my house. Great prices, and very quick shipping!

I am in Vancouver and I have been to Westcoast tropical, it is great, knowledgeable staff, I have ordered from Parrotdiseperch and Things for wings. One more that was not mentioned is Healthybird.com they are on the East Coast. I ordered a Jolly ball great price and fast shipping!!
Best chewing toys came from Things for wings!!
