I'm sure there is, but at a substantial markup.

yes, he operates on here as well and I have ordered LEDs from him, but he still orders them from the US. I was just lamenting the fact that I can't buy the product from a Canadian retailer, at least to the best of my knowledge. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I strenuously object to buying them from a US retailer, it's just that it would be less complicated if the were available regionally or even locally.

100% agree. And it would also be nice for that retailer to not take advantage of Canadian customers and gauge the snot out of them. Too many Canadian retailers are doing this.

I thought id bring this back from the dead. Any experiences where to order with in Canada for either Luxeon LEDs or Crees? Or if any one bought fromvendors in the US that didn't get dinged for ubsurd shipping charges?

www.modularled.ca was a vendor here selling stuff...but he seems to be getting out of DIY stuff lately.

bought some stuff from stevesleds.com from usa... not too expensive for shipping because package was very small with just some LEDs... and no duty ( if under $25, no duty) but was lucky with my order just over $60.00 , still no duty or local HST/PSTs.
