Default Buying Lamps from the USA

I'd like to take advantage of the Canadian dollar and order some lamps from the states (where most lamps sell for much less than in Canada). Does anyone know of a good place?

I called URI already and although their lamps are a good deal the shipping quote they gave me made it not worth my while to order.

call uvalux...they should be able to give you 3% discount....LOL.

Just source different distys in Canada and price them out....might be cheaper than buying in US and shipping them across.

some disty's offer free shipping on orders over $200 or something like that......

Zoe gives a good price and free shipping but URI was still almost 7$ a lamp cheaper for the lamps I wanted. Now, with the Canadian dollar a little stronger i figured that even paying shipping and brokerage fees would still be worth it. It's just that URI deals with UPS who are thieves when it comes to cross border deliveries.

Call Tanses! They had a great sale a while back and I got an email stating that new lamp prices reflect the new dollar AND they're right there in your neck of the woods. When they have to ship, they don't use UPS or anyone that bashes your lamps on a conveyor belt.
