Sources for enamel magnet wire in Canada

[Hammy]

I'm looking for some sources for enamel magnet wire in Canada or that
ship to Canada.

I was going to get some spools from www.cwsbytemark.com Until I seen
the S/H charges anywhere from $25 to $65 dollars is a bit much. Too
bad because they had some cores I was interested in too that Newark
doesn't have. The spools in question only weigh 1/4 pound total weight
would have been about 2 pounds.

Preferably someplace that has reasonable shipping rates like Digikey
or Newark $8 to $12 range.

So any Canadians out there wheres a good place to get magnetics ?
Cores wire bobbins etc. Newark has some cores but no wire?

Thanks

Thanks never heard of that place . They dont seem to have anything in
there web store smaller then AWG19. I'm guessing #19 means AWG 19.

Thats where I got the cores and hardware. I looked under all the
logical places for magnet wire at Newark. That doesnt mean they dont
have it though. I've said it before and I 'll say it again "Newark's"
serach engine is useless!

I think I may have found a place though.

As is Farnell's at times. They're basically the same. You need to be
inventive.

Use the search term 'enamelled copper wire'. 'Magnet wire' is a US
peculiarity along with many other things like cords of wood.

I would prefer to get it through Newark (Farnell) but unfortunately
they don't stock it in there North American warehouse. They want $20
per unit additional shipping and handling charges on top of the
regular $12.

I sent an email to confirm that the shipping and handling charges are
$23 as stated on the site http://www.elexp.com/index.htm. If it is
only $23 shipping for four 1 pound spools of enamel wire I'll buy it
there.

I was burnt once with handling brokerage and other charges they use to
pad there margins that's the last time that will happen. I wonder if
these people realize the money they lose by charging these high
shipping and handling charges.

Worst case if they are all too greedy I'll spend my money locally at a
motor rewind shop, they probably wouldn't mind selling some enamel
wire.

Cord of wood is an old traditional unit.

"Measure of cut wood, (usu 128 cub. ft.)"
Concise Oxford Dictionary ( old - 1960-somehting?)

the term is still used here in New Zealand, and in the UK.
but thses days prices are also quoted in cubic metres

About 3.5 m3

I have never once heard it used in the UK in my entire life. Firewood is sold
on ebay for example by the square metre as it must be since that's the legal
measure or maybe by kg.

Strange...

Seems like that would only apply in flatland.

Apologgies, I meant cubic metre of course. Why does the USA have to spell metre
wrong btw ? A meter is an instrument for measuring things. Voltmeter, ammeter,
multimeter etc.

Yup, MWS Wire industries is where we buy magnet wire. They got an
amazing selection. Are you looking for very thin stuff? We also get
some fine wire from California fine wire. www.calfinewire.com

Just because you spell 'meter' the French way doesn't mean we spell it
wrong. We spell it the way we pronounce it, which is the same for the
unit of length or the instrument.[...]

It strikes me as rather funny to see an English-speaking person
proclaim 'We spell it the way we pronounce it'. It's hard to see
how spelling versus pronunciation could be more chaotic than in
English.

SI allows national variation for the names of units,
USA has partially anglicised the french "metre"

(they spell litre "wrong" too)
