Canadians, where do you get your quality cards?
 

Gemaco, KEM, Copag, where do you buy them? Any Canadian-based websites or B&M stores in the Toronto area that I'm missing out on? Or even American websites that ship to Canada. I just want some non-crap cards for my home games for once [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

To be honest, most of the stores in Toronto are terrible. The ones that do carry decent stuff (very few) way overcharge for it. I saw a place selling 2 decks of KEMs the other day for $65!

Buy online from the US (most places will ship to Canada). Better selection & cheaper - even with shipping etc.

Any recommended American sites that ship to Canada? I seem to be having bad luck in that department.

I've heard good stuff about cardsbycopag.com don't know about the shipping.

Really? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I only know of a few places who won't ship to Canada. For cards, here are a few off the top of my head:

i bought 2 decks of poker sized kems, jumbo index for $55 i am not a fan of the huge index sizes, so i went to ebay for help. i picked up 2 decks of bridge sized copaq, regular index, came with 2 cut cards and a dealer puck, all for $23 CDN! Just ordered it so I'm not sure whether or not I will be hit for duty, regardless that price cannot be beat.

"$6 for 1 set, or $11 for up to 5 sets".

- Oh yeah, ebay is another option.

I'm in Calgary, and the local stores were incredibly over-priced.

So I ordered my copag cards direct from copag:

They arrived quickly and are awesome cards!

Mostly because my shipments have taken forever to arrive in the past, not because of non-shipping issues.

Thanks for the recommendations all.
