Artistry in Glass (www.artistryinglass.on.ca) has a great selection of moretti glass and other fun stuff. They are really helpful and shipments arrive almost next day.

Hey Jensie, www.hotglasscolor.com will get KUGLER COE 104 in the very near future. They are official distributor of KUGLER andtheir store is in Seattle. So it is not soo far away. Or Tecnolux in New York, Mr. Ablon is also a distributor of KULGER and will get sticks in COE 104 soon. Just give them a try

Nortel is great - email them for a price list. I like Artistry in Glass too - those are the only ones I have dealt with so far in Canada, but I have had really great experiences with Lbsupplys and double helix too - shipping is quick and didn't get dinged at the border. Good to see you - hope you get started soon!

don't count on that not happening. i got dinged for 40.86 for a 53 dollar order from a US supplier . i have ordered from them in the past and not had any problems, but they will get you at some point.

not that it is the suppliers problem,,i don't blame them at all. but customs can be a big pain in the backside and push the price of the glass, when you factor in exchange, to a ridculous price.

i love artistry in glass, her prices are great! her shipping is fantastic. i also like moretti canada. i only wish they would accept paypal.

have not ordered from the others. i will check into them though.
