LF: Contact lenses

[smurfgun]

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy contact lenses in Vancouver BC Canada. Any suggestions? I'd prefer the company to be in Canada as to avoid paying duties.

Thanks,

i use coastal contacts (i think it is coastalcontacts.com). They are located in Bellingham, WA, but i think they have a vancouver distribution center, b/c i have never had to pay duties or anything like that. They arrive really fast too if you are in vancouver.

Costco has very good prices for contacts.

I also came across this website, but I have not tried using them:

Thanks for the replies!

Are there any other canadian based sites?

I know visiondirect is pretty popular but I am skeptical whether I'll get it across the border dutyfree. Can anybody comment on this?

Thanks,

I use vision direct fairly often...I've never paid duties, however this was 6 months ago. They have a very friendly toll-free customer service line that you can call to verify about costs, they are the most straight up contact service. Give them a shout, I'm sure they can help you out!

thier digits are on the website..www.visiondirect.com

Walmart is pretty cheap also,

aren't they supposed to PM other prices as they are supposed to be the "lowest price always"?

the clearly contacts looks interesting as they have free shipping.

I was going to place and order this week- cheaper than other places!
