Where do you guys buy your HDMI cables? - Blu-ray Forum

zak88lx · 02-02-2010, 06:38 PM

Local Canadian retailers are charging an arm and a leg (12 ft. cable is $150+) and the US online retailers charge quite a bit for shipping.

I checked Monoprice.com and the prices are great but the shipping costs are 60% of the items cost.
A $20 dollar HDMI cable costs $12 to ship!

Does anyone know of an online retailer in Canada that offers reasonable pricing and cheap/free shipping?
Where are you guys buying your HDMI cables?

Thanks,
Zak

I buy most of my cable there (they are local for me though)

They have belkin cables for a pretty good price (13.99 for 6ft) and flat rate shipping of $10 - not bad if you need to buy 3 or more cables, but would kill the deal for 1 cable.

Believe it or not I buy mine at Princess Auto. I was astonished to see that they carry them and I have been very impressed with the quality of the four or five I picked up. Sorry, can't remember what the prices were but they blew away Future Shop and Best Buy so badly that I can't even imagine going back there for any cables.
