AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking to purchase 5mm OD heat-malleable tubes for a project but is facing shipping restrictions from a preferred supplier that does not ship to Canada. They are located in Toronto and are looking for alternative local stores or websites. Suggestions include VWR, which offers the desired product but at a high price of over $400, and CRS Scientific, which ships to Canada. Additionally, a local store, Epson Science, is mentioned as a potential source, identifiable by a giant telescope on its roof. The discussion highlights the need for affordable options and local availability for specialized scientific supplies.

Hey everybody

I'm looking to buy a set of these:

http://www.sciencelab.com/page/S/PVAR/10615/10-2410

the 5mm OD tubes that become malleable when subjected to heat (for a little project I want to do). Unfortunately, this website does not ship to Canada.

Anyone know of any brick & mortar stores or other websites that would sell this item?

thanks

P.S. I live in Toronto, Ontario in case you know of a very convenient location.

I'm sure you can buy these from VWR - they have locations in Canada.
 
You could just buy them online from somewhere in Canada or on eBay.
 
VWR does offer what I'm looking for, however it comes at a high price

http://www.vwrcanlab.com/catalog/product/index.cgi?object_id=0008810&class_id=5005843

over $400 for all types of glass tubing.

Those look almost like NMR sample tubes. You should be able to find those at plenty of vendors for dirt cheap.
 
CRS will ship to Canada: http://www.crscientific.com/glasstubing2.html
 
Epson science on Dufferin at Yorkdale, look for the giant telescope on the roof.
