Has anyone tried this Canadian seller:
They're part of a Montreal based e-commerce suite of companies that do toner, ink, cables, and a lot more. Think online Best Buy but 100% Canadian.
Yes: Shopperplus.ca has at least two other faces: primecables.ca, and 123ink.ca. They don't hide this. They have house brands including Moustache, Stora, SortWise, Oxo. Almost all is manufactured in PRC. Some, perhaps, to Shopperplus specs, some with private labels. I infer that they do some quality control when sourcing. They are quick to ship using the usual shippers. So: slower than Amazon (who isn't). Below a threshold, they charge for shipping. The threshold changes during most big sale days. Trick: sometime a special item will have free shipping: your whole order will be free. I first bought from them because they sell some MonoPrice cables. Those had a rep for being good good quality at a low price. MonoPrice charged a lot for shipping to Canada. This was in 2015. I've bought lots of things from Shopperplus since then. - 123ink toner cartridges (they've also been available from other retailers). It's easy to find the right thing there, including drums. - 27" UltraHD monitor (I think it was a MonoPrice) - cables of many varieties. - goo-gaws like cable organizers. Their sales have been fun. They even sell selected MinisForum mini PCs. My newest PC is a MinisForum, but from AliExpress, during a sale, at a much lower price. <https://www.primecables.ca/p-487023-cab-mss1max-128g2t-minisforum-ms-s1-max-mini-computer-mini-pc-black> When something has been wrong, I've been able to phone and get a fix. I don't remember serious hold times. I have always been satisfied with their response. The person on the other end seems to be in the Montreal area. My quality expectations have been modest and have been met. I last bought stuff during Black Friday sales. USB charger, garbage bags, etc. AliExpress prices are lower, but more of a crap-shoot. It is easy to waste time on AliExpress. The vendors all try to trick you in various ways.
