Hi Everyone, Just to let you know that a new online store has opened up in Canada - The Paper Gourmet, thepapergourmet.ca . You will not believe their prices (best I've seen in Canada and online), shipping rates are very reasonable and the service is fast. I ordered 3 cartridges late Sunday and they arrived Tuesday by Canada Post. Included in their ever expanding line of merchandise are many products for paper crafting, not just cartidges. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed! Betty-Jane

i have been to their site a couple of times. The prices for the carts are very good but shipping at 13 for one cart was too steep for me. i am still better off ordering from the US as shipping is only 5 dollars. Yes it might take me a couple of weeks to get it but that is ok. Wish i could order from a CDN store but the shipping always tends to be too much for me! Thanks for sharing tho.

I checked them out too and the prices are good but as Nuggetsmom posted the shipping is too steep. It is still more reasonable to order out of the US. I wish our Canadian shipping was not so high so I could buy in Canada.

 I am in Nova Scotia and ordered 2 carts from Paper Gourmet - arrived in 3 days - unheard of out here. I also found that with the prices of the carts and ordering 2 made it a great deal - better than ebay for me. I also am happy to support a Canadian business who is not trying to gouge us with $59-$89 carts. This order I got the Garden Soup and Elegant Edges. I will order from here again.

The prices are good on cartridges - less than Terri...the shipping, however, is crazy - but that's Canada post for you.

I just went to place an order for mats but the only "shipping" option was local pick up! I looked through the cartridges and there are some good prices. I was able to have those shipped and the price isn't bad with multiples - but too steep for just one.

I just went there and wow these prices are amazing! I called them and asked about the local pickup option and it is an option but they do ship world wide. Apparently there is a glitch with the the Canada Post stuff in the background of their site and sometimes it gives you the "local Pickup " as the only option. They said that for now just clear your cart and redo the order and it will work. That they are working on it now to fix. Not much inconvenience for such good prices..

I for one am very pleased to see a Canadian website with good prices on cartridges. As time goes on the product line will grow also. This place has arrived on the scene at a good time since prices are increasing in the US on cricut cartridges so not an option for me anymore. The other products appear to be reasonably priced also. I'm looking forward to placing my first order. I couldn't believe that she had the new carts from last hello Thursday already.

I noticed that too - and for FAR less than I paid at Cricut.com - which also has crazy shipping prices to Canada now. I'll be checking out The Paper Gourmet next time I'm looking to purchase cartridges. I love the idea of buying from a Canadian supplier.
