* To receive a discount you must ask. If a vendor on our list doesn’t indicate a discount it may mean we haven’t been in contact to ask them, so it doesn’t hurt to ask. If you find a vendor that does grant you a discount, let us know and we will indicate it on our list.
Blue or shaded background indicates a Guild member.
If an Internet site doesn’t work, try adding “www.” in front of the name. If still unable to locate, use Google.com’s search engine, put in the company name and search.
Note: If buying in the States have your order shipped by air. This incurs the lowest charges. UPS on the other hand charges brokerage fees, handling fees and COD charge for the GST/PST they pay for you. The US Postal service is quick and is usually the most cost effective.
