Shopping for custom loop in Canada

[Thehumaneyecanonlysee60hz]

I'm at the design and parts selection phase of a full custom loop, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with purchasing parts online and shipping them to Canada. 

 

I'm hoping to get the fittings, radiators, tubing and coolant from Primochill, and the CPU/GPU blocks, and pump/res combo from EK, but I'm open to options or other ideas if you have them. 

 

I was hoping to use NCIX, as they seemed to stock lots of EK parts, but that's obviously not an option any more. I've heard and read good things about Dazmode, but he doesn't seem to carry much Primochill, and even the EKWB stock is a bit patchy. 

 

I understand that I'll likely end up paying duty, shipping, import fees, etc., but I'd rather know in advance if one company is better than another, and to avoid being hit with hundreds in unexpected fees. 

 

Thanks in advance for any insight you may have.

I'm using in my loop

this res (i really like the design)

with this pump (attached to the res)

I don't know who made my rads.

I have a 1080ti Poseidon from Asus as my GPU

and using an c350i from phanteks as my CPU block

and this tube I used 

with the fittings from phanteks

Interesting and cheap res that, I like it.

Yeah, that's the problem. They seemed to be one of the only Canadian companies that stocked a decent selection of watercooling parts. Hence I'm looking into ordering directly from the manufacturer.

I get most of my stuff from a mix of amazon and Dazmode. Amazon only have alphacool stuff with prime shipping right now with reasonable prices. Idk what the shipping will be like since you live in SK, but knowing the shipping rates in Canada it probably won't be cheaper, but still cheaper than international shipping I would guess.
