Buy Bulk Melting Wafers Online In Canada

(CANADA)
Please help. I am run ragged trying to find where to buy bulk melting wafers online IN CANADA.
Google is over run by US company pages... and/or US companies that DO ship to Canada, but the added taxes, shipping and the fact that it takes up to 3 WEEKS to deliver is crazy. If I see one more ad for bulkfoods.com I think I'll go mad.
All I want is to pay less that ~$1/100g... there are 2.2lbs in 1000g.... correct my math (I am bad at it) but that is what? 0.22 lbs per 100g.
a 5lb bag of Merckens white wafers is priced at roughly $5-$6USD. So I have to convert dollars based on the rate the day the order goes through... add in any extra customs duties and pay extra on shipping.
Anyone buy bulk here in the great white north? Looking mostly for white melting wafers.
Please?
Hi Samantha,
I can see your dilemma. I've just spent 30 minutes trying to locate a place to buy bulk melting wafers online in Canada without any success. In fact, I couldn't even find a place to buy them in small amounts!
I even checked eBay Canada since you can often find things on eBay even when you can't locate it otherwise. No such luck. All the suppliers listed there for the white chocolate wafers were US sellers.
Just out of curiosity, did you check with
Candyland Crafts to see how much they charge to ship to Canada and how long it would take? They may be able to beat some of the other sellers you've investigated on shipping costs, but they charge $19.75 for a 5 lb. bag of wafers (That works out to be .8 cents per 100 grams before shipping).
If you can get 5 lbs. for $6.00 somewhere as you mentioned, that's only about .27 cents US per 100 grams. How much are they asking for shipping? It seems like that would be your best option if you are trying to keep your costs under $1 per 100 grams.
Well, hopefully someone from Canada will be able to come riding to the rescue and provide you with a local supplier. Surely there IS one in Canada?
Best of luck!
