Epyx:

Happ arcade parts from www.starburstcoin.com

There are a few others if you look at the vendor links on the main page.

I would recommend ordering from www.lizardlick.com  I ordered my parts and got it 6 days later to Toronto without getting hit with any extra duties, taxes, brokerage or handling fees.  My other friend has ordered from them as well and shares the same positive experience.

I've also ordered from groovygamegear.com as well but they don't carry iL competition sticks only HAPP.  Excellent experience and products such as the KeyWiz, GPWiz or OptiWiz. 

Epyx:

And if you want even faster...www.ultimarc.com will usually get an order to you by breakfast the next day...ok...maybe not that fast..but usually two days.

However, as MWong168 indicated...www.lizardlick.com and of course www.groovygamegear.com are all great to Canada...and with today's exchange rate...why limit yourself to just the small selection within Canada?

I have ordered from all of the above and can easily recommend them all.

I try my best to support the local business such as arcadepower.ca, but when you sell a Sanwa LF-TP-8YT Ball Handle Joystick for $39.99cdn or a iL 8-Way Eurojoystick for $19.99cdn where as places like Lizardlicks is selling it for $24.95usd and $9.95 respectively it makes the choice very obvious where to buy from even if there is shipping and exchange rates are involved.  I emailed them first but they refused to price match or even budge so I just said good luck and have a nice day.

XCVG:

Okay, thanks. I heard Lizard Lick is good and they ship USPS, not UPS (I have had horrible experiences with UPS). What about The Playdium Store? It's in Canada and has decent prices. They seem to serve arcade vendors more than hobbyists though.

Thanks for all the help, and if anyone is interested I have a worklog of my N64p offsite here.
