Does anyone order cushion fabric from Canada?

Has anyone ordered cushion fabric from Canada. It seems like shipping would be less and the package won't have to go through customs.

That's what we did. Same price per yard for the Sunbrella as US but we got the exchange rate and shipped within CA on UPS. Arrived at Chili within the week after we ordered.
Outdoor Fabrics in Ontario. Saved a good bit of money over sending it from US

Check out jtsoutdoorfabrics.com too. A couple fabrics we are considering are aroun 10% cheaper there. Not sure of shipping costs in either case.

It's wierd Jim www.jtsoutdoorfabrics.com and Outdoor Fabrics Canada Inc. - - Sunbrella Outdoor Fabric Distributor have an almost identical address in Ontario. When we looked at it we thought they are shipping out of the same warehouse, but could be wrong. If not, they're neighbors. The better price when we ordered was at Outdoor Fabrics Canada Inc. - - Sunbrella Outdoor Fabric Distributor If they are the same operation they did have different prices so definitely worth comparing both.

The Sunbrella Dupione line has a bunch of nicely textured colours. We have a bunch in our collection, which is about 100 samples, but narrowed down to about 10 now. Thinking of ordering a few more, just to mess with our minds once again.
