I've found JL to have always been competitive with US pricing for the products they carry. Most of my other hobby type stuff I buy from a certain few companies in China that I have always had good luck with and much cheaper with free shipping when compared to locally, even with the dollar where it's at. Everything I look at on Ebay seems to be more expensive now than I can get elsewhere and US companies aren't worthwhile with expensive shipping. I also get stuff through Amazon.ca as they usually have good prices with the exception of all the companies who sell through Amazon who are way over priced. Goods that have a high chance of having warranty issues I usually still buy locally or at Costco online.
