Amazon in Canada - Really??

Good deals or even reasonably-priced items seem to be rare on Amazon.ca lately. Small electrical items that arrive on the slow boat from China are a good deal, I suppose, if you don't care who makes them and you're willing to wait the 3 months for delivery. I currently have 3 or 4 items under $10 that are somewhere in the Pacific. Switches, USB outlets, knock-off GoPro mounts...

I've had better luck with suppliers who are not included in Amazon.ca. Example: I wanted a Midland 75-822 CB radio, when I finally decided to buy, price on Amazon.ca had mysteriously gone to >$200 plus shipping that day (wtf?), so I did some digging and eventually ordered from RadioWorld.ca out of Toronto - better price, reasonable shipping (it was still more than the $75US on Amazon.com, but at least I didn't have to gamble with the border duty etc). I ended buying my Firestik antenna, coax, and ring mount from them, as well as a bunch of Ram mount parts, which were also less expensive than on Amazon.ca, in some cases much much much much much less.

What would be really useful is a compiled list of vendors in Canada that sell Tacoma stuff and off-road accessories. I can sometimes find a business in Canada that will sell me an item I want, and it's often cheaper than Amazon.ca, but it takes time/effort to search them out.

Still looking for a Canadian supplier of T-slot nuts that fit the bed rails, at reasonable cost...

 

This. Amazon.Ca had the best prices at the time I bought my Honda cargo carrier.

 

Where did you get the reflector cap for your hitch receiver? I've been looking for something like that. I don't need the wiring, though.

 

^It isn't a reflector. It's a hitch-mounted brake light, Pilot Automotive P/N CR-007: https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Covers/Pilot-Automotive/CR-007.html

After the bulb burned out, I removed the light and changed to a tailgate-mounted LED strip. Since I never tow a trailer, I removed the low-hanging 6-pin connector and the last section of the electrical cable.

 

I find quickfist products are cheaper after exchange from .ca than .com

 

Amazon is nuts! Be careful shopping on there. I found superlube grease on sale for $84! Homedepot sells it for $19.
I emailed them and told them to police their sellers to make sure they list reasonable prices. Because of sh@t like that, Amazon is the last place I will go to to look for anything.

 

some things that are on Amazon.com are from US sellers that also sell on Canadian but not under Amazon Prime, so they charge ridiculous shipping and exchange rates.

 

I got my OEM bed divider for $48cdn shipped, a few days later it jumped to $477 lol
