Are there any websites where I can order some D'addario strings? I live in Canada and it's hard to find sites that sell/ship here. Thanks!

I don't live in Canada, but I like www.sheetmusicplus.com and I believe they do international shipments.

www.stringthis.com I think they do canada as well as others.

Given that juststrings.com is in New Hampshire, I can't imagine why they wouldn't ship to Canada.

I have been using sheetmusicplus for several years now and they are great for international shipments and less than half the price I would pay, here - even including shipping!! :)

In fact I ordered some more Super Long D'Addario Slowounds from them just yesterday!! ;)

Juststrings.com is a great company. I buy all my strings on that site now. Great selection and fast shipping!

As far as I can see, they are very expensive for International orders - their shipping info says to add $35 !!:eek:

I also did a comparison on price of strings - so the same set I ordered yesterday, costs $32.82 on JustStrings.

Whereas it is only $27.99 on sheetmusicplus.com and they only charge $4.99 for international shipping!

Sheetmusic plus wins hands down I think!! ;)

PS - 'stringthis' don't even stock the set I wanted - so :

www.sheetmusicplus.com

is definitely the best choice so far!!

Mostly Strings has been very good for me. Try them out. Good prices and fast shipping. Rich is a great guy too.

I agree... Excellent company to deal with..

Allow me to toot my own horn...

I'm opening a US-based online bass string store within a coupla weeks and I'll be carrying most major brands (including D'Addario, who I've just placed an order with). I will be shipping internationally for a flat fee of $9.95 (US shipping is 3.95). JustStrings has enormous inventory and I just can't compete with that at this time, but those shipping charges..... sheesh.

I will be an authorized dealer of most brands mentioned in these forums; if I don't have it in stock, I can get it.

The site is not live yet, but I'll gladly sell any on-hand inventory to Talk Bass forum members. Until the site goes live, you might even get a nice discount. :)

I've purchased strings online from www.juststrings.com many times. Good service, they get here in time(even before time a couple of times) and they have a pretty darn good selection of all brands and makes.

BUT - the point here, is we are talking about shipping outside the US and it says on their website they charge $35 for international shipping which is much more than other sites like www.sheetmusicplus.com at $4.99!

I'm in Canada and I have had a lot of success dealing with juststrings.com. I recommend them highly.

I've checked out juststrings.com and they have what I'm looking for (D'addario 165-6's), but since they don't take money orders and I don't have a credit card, it doesn't really help much. Sheetmusicplus, stringthis, and moststring.net do not carry this particular product. Thanks!

Tom, great to find an alternative to juststrings and the local GC. Are you going to be carrying any of the Lakland and MTD strings? Also, are you going to be able to get the La Bella Super Steps in the gauges that George puts on the F Bass?

There's also BP strings at http://www.rfd.cc/bpstrings/ . They seem to have a good reputation.
