Best place to buy Cumpler?

I searched for 'crumpler', but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for..
As a camera noob, could anyone tell me the best place to buy a Crumpler 4 Mil Home?
Which local places carry them at a reasonable price? Or which online retailers are best to go with?

www.photoprice.ca to compare prices.

I've bought my crumpler stuff from www.thecamerastore.com, at the time, it was the cheapest place. However, they left the security tag on my bag and they told me to send it back. I was able to remove it using some tools.

How about the Crumpler store?.. That's where I got mine. They have sales occasionally.

www.thecamerastore.com seems to be cheaper than the stores here

They are based in Alberta so you only pay 1 tax too

Shipping might be like 10 bucks or so but should still end up a bit cheaper

Apparently fast shipping too...my friend ordered from them, it came the next day

I bought mine from the camera store. Their prices even with shipping is cheaper than local prices. They also ship with Purolator, so it takes a couple days before it arrives.

I've been satisfied with The Camera Store, and their service.

Try Beau photo in Vancouver. They seem to have better pricing as compared to Lens & Shutter and the Crumpler store in downtown.

The cheapest would be SFU's Microstore. Many people would think it's only for SFU students but certain products like Crumpler is actually for the general public. They have the lowest prices I know of locally.

That's where I got my 7MIL for $96 (regular $139).

Give them a try!
