Tiger Direct cost me less to shop vs Newegg

[Bigmac80]

Hey guys im not sure if this is a right area to post but it seems like everyone shops at Newegg including myself. I bought my monitor, graphics card and case fans from newegg and i just realize that Tiger Direct doesn't charge tax in California. I just recently bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus from Tiger Direct and it cost me $32.67 with shipping and if i went to newegg it would of cost me $36.45. I know that doesn't sound much but that extra $4-$5 could go towards some thermal paste. Maybe this year i'll purchase my new build from Tiger Direct and my cpu from Microcenter lol. Keep in mind though that sometimes newegg doesn't charge shipping depending on what item it is. Please if you guys know any other places to shop other then Newegg, Tigerdirect or Microcenter let me know cause i want the best deals possible. Also there's a company called Mwave that's pretty good also I got my Lian-li PC 7FWB case there for $119.99 and most places have them for $149.99. Anyways this is probably pointless from me telling you guys this cause you guys probably already know where to get your best deals. Maybe im just happy that i get a better deal buying motherboards, heatsinks, rams etc from Tigerdirect because they don't charge tax at California for some reason lol...

Where would you recommend a Canadian living in Toronto to shop for computer goods?
Newegg? Tigerdirect? CanadaComputers?

I find shipping costs on newegg much too expensive. There are a few products that have free shipping, but not many.

I find NCIX the best in Canada because they will pricematch anyone in the Canada provided the item is in stock at the other store.
Canada Computers is the next best option.
Newegg is terrible for shipping charges but some items are priced well so just pricematch it at NCIX.
TigerDirect blows in Canada they have a crappy selection and inventory and once again if the price is good NCIX will match it.
NCIX pretty much has it all sown up.
If you live in Ontario and have a Canada Computers in your town it's also very good =nothing beats a walk in for an easy return of items(defective or it doesn't fit or something)
Btw NCIX has physical locations in the GTA now, that's where i'd shop if i lived in T.O.
