source for feeler gauge stock Canada?

anyone know a place to get feeler gauge stock in or shipped to canada?
none of the amazon dealers will ship to canada and most places that seem to sell it wont ship to canada and if they do they charge $25+ shipping

I am looking for .025"x1/2"x12" x 12 pieces

anyone got a good source?

Thanks!

Might be possible to put a group order together to make it cost effective to import if it can't be sourced in Canada.

When I looked at ordering it several years ago the issue meeting minimum orders of over $100 to get good pricing.

i would be up for a group order if enough people are into that.
but obviously a place offering a good price on smaller orders would be ideal for reordering down the line

I'm sure MSC would ship to Canada. http://metalworking.mscdirect.com/CGI/MWSRCH?ns=1&scrNtt=shim+stock&x=0&y=0&Ntk=Keyword+Search. They're an excellent company, one I have done business with many times.

Checkout Starrett 667-20 at http://traverscanadacatalogs.com/lg_display.cfm/catalog/master_2011/page/682

Its one of the lower prices ....

You can also find it at Starrett.com ..... They have a shipping warehouse near Toronto

Some pickmakers buy it in 25 ft rolls as it may be less expensive.

Re: source for feeler gauge stock Canada?

thanks for the help guys! Starrett seems good and with as good if not better price than most of the american places i have found and if they ship from canada even better!

edit:
although when i add things to the cart most say no longer available and if i try to add 12 of .023 it says 1 in stock 11 no longer available and they do have a minimum $100 order

You could improvise something like a miniature table saw to slice pieces off with a dremel and cutoff wheel. (The "table saw" would provide a fence to guide the steel through straight and prevent binding the cutting wheel). A large shear could make short work of it if you can appeal to a local metal shop for 10 minutes of their time.
