try http://www.firemountaingems.com/ you can get quantity discounts by combining items and they have a huge selection. I hear www.monsterslayer.com is good too. It's always nice to go with the smaller sellers whenever possible IMO..

I have compared lots of site - if you plan to spend over $100, then www.bluemud.com at their 20% discount pricing has probably the best per bead pricing I have seen. They also ship right away for cheap and have a huge selection!
Good luck 
toni

I'll second bluemud. I just compared their prices today with monsterslayer and bluemud's were better. I've used them several times and have been happy each time.

wow...thanks to everyone.....I have been trying to find the website that has the most selection.....alot of the beads come with 2-3 different looks like (ie. crystal, crystal AB, and crystal AB-2x) these all have a slight different sheen to them....and every color i think comes with these AB , AB2 on the end of the name.....
Thanks again i will check all of them out!!!

I don't know what kind of shipping mess you might find with any of the distributors out of the US. It may be better for you to find someone in Canada that carries crystals. I know that international shipping can be a real pain!!

If you only need a few crystals
When I only need a few crystals, I use this source:
http://www.gemshow-online.com/
Shipping to US and Canada is only $1.00 for orders under $25.00. Over $25.00 shipping is free. They are based in CA and I'm in NY and I got my order in 3 or 4 days.
