McMaster-Carr does not sell to Canada any more

Nope. No Canadian warehouse. They ship overnight from Thief River Falls, MN to Canada (and elsewhere in the world too). They just have a really good computer system and have partnered with Purolator in the case of Canadian sales. They're doing many millions of dollars in sales that way (no doubt more now that the US dollar is collapsing). Customs is a snap if the goods are properly described (tariff item number and country of origin). Digikey simply built that into their database (along with RoHS and other things of interest).

If you doubt my word (Klingon!) check quantity in stock of any particular part on any of the country-specific Digikey websites. You'll find the same numbers unless the manufacturer has told them they can't export it.

Digikey charges GST when they ship so the whipment does not have to go through Canada customs. Fast shipping.

Digikey are my favorite electronic component supplier, I get grumpy when i need to scrounge up a minimum order for something they dont have.

I was Baffled by how fast and effectively they get stuff into Canada and how Simple it was. Canadian Catalog Canadian Dollars Next day Canadian shipping
