Question Best website to buy glass in Canada?

Ok so I'm new to glass and I have found some great prices ( I like to stay under $10.00/lbs) but I live in Canada and once I get to check out the shipping charges are crazy! For example I was on www.frantzartglass.com and was about to place a $32.00 order but shipping was going to cost $36 or $38 to ship to me!

Now is there a Canadian seller with great prices and shipping?

I have used davarti glass and it has cheap prices and shipping but it's shocky and I would like to try other brands of coe 104.

Any help would be great!
Thank you!
Ps I don't live near any large cities so I can only do online shopping for glass.

My go-to is Artistry in Glass. I'm lucky because they are local to me so I can go in. Not sure what their shipping charges are.

Nortel in Toronto is good too.

Artistry in Glass and Nortel are my go-to Canadian vendors. If I were in your situation, I would also do the road trip to Edmonton to Bedrock Supply occasionally even though it looks like it would be a three hour or so drive for you. Bedrock Supply has a pretty good selection and it's nice to be able to see and touch things before you buy them.

How about in Saskatchewan? And I think you can order from Bedrock and they will ship to you.

I deal with Beadfx both by mail and I've been in. They are good but don't really carry much in the way of lampworking supplies. More beading.
