This supplier has a great selection of reagents, yes. I have asked him before why the shipping is so high and he told me that he does not want to ship internationally but if I can find somebody in the USA who is willing to receive and re-ship the items the cost would be much lower. In my opinion he is doing this to have search results reflect his items internationally even though the costs are ridiculous (I wanted a chem, I forget what but nothing dangerous, and he asked 12$ for the item and 100,000$ shipping. I mean, come on!)

Unless you have a friend in the US who can re send the stuff to you, never mind him :( sometimes a better option is ebay.co.uk and ask the sellers if they can ship to Canada, I've had lots of good luck finding reagents from the UK this way that don't show in Canadian eBay searches

There are 'reshipping' companys that will give you an address in the usa and ship stuff on to you . They are legitamate.
They charge a fee. Don't know how much.
