Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a leather jacket like this one from Schott. Not committed to the lambskin, open to other types of leather as well; it's more so the style of jacket I'm looking at. Do we have something in Canada that can compare in terms of look and pricepoint? Thanks!

Edit: Budget wise would like to stay under 1500CDN

The cushions on my couch are very old and the foam is lifeless. I want to find replacement foam. I live in the Toronto area. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi! I'm looking for the book "Henry Yan's Figure Drawing: Tips & Techniques" (published 2006; ISBN: 9781427610232). The book isn't Canadian, but I'm hoping to find a Canadian used bookstore that might have it. I know some new copies were sold years ago in Calgary at Swinton's Art Supply, Instruction & Framing. They've sold out, and the book is now out of print. I was hoping some used copies might still be circulating somewhere in Canada.

Has anyone seen this book for sale anywhere? Or could you recommend a store for me to contact? I've tried searching online, but not all bookstores have a website with inventory listed. Any suggestions on where to find a book like this would be great. Thanks!

In process of starting bathroom Reno & seems any budget friendly (under $700) tubs have terrible reviews. Looking for recommendations of make/models that have clean lines but depth and comfort for soaking in. TIA

Im looking for a good price for 5lbs of yeast, all shops are selling it in 140g or similar, too expensive, we eat 30g per person per day and use it in every salad we make… sometimes the small pack isnt ever good for 1 day 😂 we love the taste and benefits

Hey all! Looking for recommendations on Canadian manufacturers of paddleboards (hard boards, not inflatable). Am looking for a board not just designed but also manufactured in Canada. Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a bit of a odd request; I need a flag of two country flags combined (split diagonally), and I have no clue who, or what type of store, may be able to fulfill this.

Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations for Canadian-made leather boots. Looking for something along the lines of these from White's or Red Wing. I've checked on Goodyearwelt, and a good chunk of the brands are American, but I would like to see some Canadian options as well, if there are any that meet this quality. Thanks!

After a long day of moving we were attempting to put this bed frame together. It’s sold as an easy construct but the pieces of the bed are t fitting. It’s 2 engineers and 2 doctors building the bed so yes we read the manual correctly and yes we tried different orientations. The headboard wood is just too thick on one side and won’t fit properly. Has anyone else had this experience ? Now I’m worried because silk and snows customer service and return policy sucks apparently 😕

Does anyone know of affordable streetwear online websites based in Canada (to avoid duties and customs)

Hey, I live in a fly-in so Amazon/walmart don’t ship here. iHerb does but is there any sites similar to that online? Looking for grocery items/snacks I can buy online, preferably Canadian company. Naturamarket & Well.ca also don’t ship here. Am I missing any stores?

Hello,

Looking for Corduroy sectional couches at around 2000? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for Made in Canada men's sweatpants in a light/medium weight fabric (like a bamboo or cotton french terry, no fleece, and 90%+ natural fibers). The catch is that they can't have elastic or cuffs at the ankles. Interesting pockets would be a plus.

These are the pants I'm trying to replace for my husband, they were perfect and he completely wore them out, so I'd like to find a made in Canada replacement: Lululemon Post Surf Pant

These are the closest I've found so far, but they're lacking the interesting pockets: Reigning Champ Midweight Terry Relaxed Sweatpants

I'd also love the price to be closer to $100, but I realize that might be asking too much!

Hey Reddit,

I have had a really frustrating experience with printing return labels with amazon. Namely that I didn't have a printer, print shops would either turn me away or charge me a 'minimum job price' no matter what I needed - all in all just kind of a bummer. I know that amazon has the option to return sometimes with a QR code, but the locations for that are really out of the way and Canada post is super convenient (aside from the aforementioned printer issue - not having one).

So I kind of took a stab in the dark here, thinking that maybe there might be some other people like me that were experiencing a similar frustration, so I got a printer, and a domain and founded Print Kitty.

"We Print Your Return Label & Mail it to Your Home - No Printer, No Problem!"

I'm here to get the opinion of the community. I made a short survey to get feedback on if this service is useful / priced appropriately / needed at all.

https://printkitty.co/survey

It's 8 questions, should only take 3-5 minutes.

I really appreciate your help / opinions / support.

Thanks everyone.

[EDIT 1]

After hearing from a number of people sharing their own experiences I've gotten a lot of clarity. Which I deeply appreciate.

Obviously this is not a service for the majority, in the majority of cases people would rather just have the printer or they can use a label free return process with a QR code and a dropoff.

A note on return time window:

So in my experience and looking at amazon's official return policy, the window to return an item is 30 days after receiving it. For me after receiving the label to print that 30 days from date of receipt still applies. I want to acknowledge that some users have shared that from receiving the label they only have 3 days to drop it off. I wanted to mention that, although I have not experienced myself.

Use cases:

No Printer-Free Return Location Nearby

Personal Preference to prepackage and label to save time at drop off location (like my case)

Larger or heavier items do not have the printer free label option available.

Ultimately the outlier cases - in most cases this service isn't needed - but in the few that it is, it's really frustrating not having the option.

Who would use it?

The person who is willing to pay a small fee to have a label shipped to them so they don't have to think about doing it themselves, going to a print shop, buying a printer etc. Someone who would rather save the time they would spend printing it themselves opting for a done for you option.

Safe to say this isn't the majority of people, but there's a few, I just need to figure out how to find them.

Outreach / Discoverability:

Even when I was having this frustration, seeking out a service like this, I searched on google for "shipping label printing online" or "single page mail a ship document" that sort of thing, and couldn't find anything in the ideal range for me which would have been around $3 MAX for the convenience. No more than that though.

So my focus is going to be on the slow build of SEO around those types of search terms.

If there are any other rare birds out there that would use this service like me, I'd love to hear where you would look for it, if at all. 🙏

I would like to buy a weekender bag. Can someone recommend me some sites that sell these besides amazon? Thanks.

Hello, I am new to Canada and I always wanted to buy those long wool black coats. I have looked at them at Aritzia but they're pretty expensive for me.. I ended up purchasing a coat from Suzy shier at their sale ($62). However it's 100% polyester. My intention was to wear it in winter too on regular Calgary winter days but now I think I made a wrong choice because though it's cheap I want to buy something that will actually keep me warm on average winter days and has a good material. Do you have any suggestions for the coat/brand or the material I should look for?

Edit: Thank you so much for your replies. Should I return the 100% polyster Suzy shier coat? (link I just want to have a coat on the side when the weather is a max -10, or for days I'm just gonna commute to the office and don't want to carry a heavy jacket. Would this help or should I return and buy a wool jacket for such days? Thank you, would appreciate your response

I'm the 18 yo who made the post about his Kickstarter !

Thank you soooo much to all of you for the kind words and support for my Made in Canada knife project. I've received a ton of support and love on my previous post and it has boosted my Kickstarter far beyond what I expected!

Just thought I'd thank all of you for that. It was amazing!

Cheers,

I'm looking to buy a refurbished phone online. Need something with a receipt (not Kijiji/Marketplace) for taxes next year.

Hi,

Long time Reddit lurker and posting here for the first time. Mother of a 12 year old who is looking for a sensible dress for school graduation day ceremony.

A bit of background - my daughter is big for her age and most of the clothes at kid shops (ie Zara kids, Children’s place etc) at their max size (16,18, xl, xxl) either do not fit/ too tight at her stomach area or they look too frumpy and ill fitting.

I’ve started looking at the women’s clothing section but so far finding clothes that are not appropriate for a 12 year old. My daughter wants a short sleeve/ sleeveless black dress that goes a little below her knees.

And while I know beggars can’t be choosers, I’d really love to pick an outfit made in Canada, it would be more valuable to me personally. I live in Toronto, if that helps. I’d be grateful for any suggestions!

Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

I was wondering if someone has some idea on cheap advertising and how to get the word out on unique 100% beeswax candles?

I have researched and there aren't really many similar products to our creations, let alone the variety and color varieties of our beeswax candles. Our candle master has been in the beeswax and honey industry for over 30 years and can make some beautiful and very unique colors.

In addition, from google and trying to grow the business I've searched and realised that very few people know how color blending can create unique candles such as ours.

So, does anyone have any ideas on how to get the word out that such products exist? All of our products are made with 100% pure beeswax purchased from beekeepers located in Western Canada.

Once you click to see them, you will agree they are unique, extremely fragile and selling them over the internet would mean we have to triple and quadruple the price to safely ship them.

If you were to suggest us using the farmers markets route, our costs and the selling price would have to be increased dramatically just to compensate the costs of renting a table at a time when a lot of Canadians are struggling to make ends meet.

Thank you in advance,

Hello, community!

I'm on a quest to find affordable soybeans in the city to maintain my high-protein diet. Does anyone have tips on where to buy cheap soybeans or other high-protein beans? I'm looking for store recommendations, local markets, or online options that won't break the bank.

If you know any specific places, bulk buying tips, or sales to watch out for, please share. Any advice on getting the best deals would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I live in toronto
