Canadian Equivalent To Musician's Friend?

Herrlster · #1 03-08-2007, 12:18 AM

Is there one?

I'm gonna start shopping online but I'd prefer to order from a Canadian store so I don't have to pay those duty fee's or whatever they're called. And I don't wanna pay a lot on shipping so ordering from a Canadian store would be great.

So is there one out there?

Also, while you're reading. I'm gonna order a black block inlay neck from Rondo (best deal anywhere for a neck) but it says "customs duty & brokerage shipping to..." Which one do I choose? Canada or USA?

Sorry, I'm a huge n00b when it comes to ordering online...

Thanks for your help.

The canadian online stores i know of are,

1.Long & McQuade

2.LA music (toronto)

3.AXE music (Alberta)

customs & duty brokerage shipping is to Canada
hope this helps

Long & McQuade's site isn't for online shopping, and Axe has literally nothing worth buying, let alone overpaying. That LA Music doesn't seem to be too bad though.

EDIT: Nevermind, LA doesn't have a great selection either. I guess we're screwed.

Dave at Club Bass in Toronto is real nice. But his stuff is kinda boutique.

I've ordered from both Axe music and LA. I was happy on both accounts.

From Axe I bought a set of "gibson" tuners for a g#!t@r that I was very pleased with. Not too expensive, yet not too bad.

I bought a set of strings from LA music, shipped for less than I could have bought locally.

So I guess it depends what you're looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to do business again with either of these outfits.

Wow, just found music123.com and it is frickin great! Not as much stock as MF, but really not bad at all and the prices are very good from what I saw!
