+Turtle_Sask Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi everyone, I have a simple question to ask. I live in Canada and when I want to buy geocaching stuff people always give me links to American sites and while yes they are well priced but the shipping would cost an arm and a leg. so if you know of a place somewhere in Canada that has great prices please post a link to there site. I'm looking for TB's coins and bison tubes. Thanks in advance for your time Quote Link to comment
+GeoTrailGuy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Are you looking for a physical store in your area or simply a Canadian-based supplier? If the later, have you seen the list of Groupspeak distributors? They have a fairly robust list of Canadian sites, many of which are located out in the west. http://shop.Groundspeak.com/shipping.cfm Quote Link to comment

+doingitoldschool Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Landsharkz in BC or Cacher's Toybox in Ontario. Ditto on landsharkz, I don't know the other one so I can't comment. Quote Link to comment
+911turbos Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Worldcaching in BC as well. Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Landsharkz in BC or Cacher's Toybox in Ontario. Both of these are very reliable. Quote Link to comment
+BCSasquatch Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have made only one purchase so far online for geocaching and I used Landsharkz.ca. I was impressed with the promptness of service. Shipping rates were good too compared to another company that is less than half the distance from my home but approximately double the shipping cost for the same method and same items. I don't know the other companies listed above but I am pretty impressed with landsharkz.ca so far and will definitely hit them up again. They are based in Victoria. Quote Link to comment
+Highland Horde Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I get most of my stuff from 3geeks.ca but i wouldn't really call it online when I drive 10 min and go pick it up but they are reliable and they answer emails promptly. Quote Link to comment
+Denis et Doris Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 We've also used 3 geeks and landsharkz, and found them both prompt and efficient. Used them both several times, no problem. Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Landsharkz are great and also popular with our caching buddies south of the border. For bison tubes and nanos you can also pick those up at http://LeeValleyTools.com Landsharkz have more than one size though Edited February 20, 2010 by popokiiti Quote Link to comment
+GeoWyrm Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 GPS Central is located in Calgary, so that would be about the closest to you that I know of (just in case you ever make it out this way). Now that geocaching has so many members in SK, wouldn't it be nice for one to open there? GPS Central http://www.gpscentral.ca/ +1-800-585-9331 Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You guys are awesome, thanks! We distribute to resellers across Canada and around the world, so if you want to find stuff closer to home, check out Landsharkz National & International Resellers List. We're going to be in PEI for a week in May so if anyone on the (other) Island there would like to make some of the most popular products or new items available locally, it would be a great time to get you familiar with our product line . New resellers are always welcome and as you have gathered - we offer competitive shipping and darned fast too. Quote Link to comment

They started in Calgary, AB in 1994, which makes them the first online Canadian GPS retailer. www.gpscity.ca Best support, prices, and website. There are also a few more geo-caching specific sites in Canada. Another company to check out is landsharkz.ca. This is another great Canadian site. Cheers Quote Link to comment
+Hoodscoop Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have ordered SWAG from both 3 Geeks and Landsharkz. Both are very good, but I have decided to stick with Landsharkz as they are closer to me and the shipping rates are a little cheaper for me. They carry alot of product, and I have even had them order specialty items for me from Groundspeaks in the U.S. My advice would be ---- The Canadian dollar is great right now, so if you see something on a U.S. site, then have someone like Landsharkz get it in for ya. Happy Caching!! Quote Link to comment
