Had anyone ordered from Exotic Wings & Pet Things? They have a very large selection of parrot stuff. They sell a 5lb bag of Harrison's for $37.99CND! I'm just wondering how much the shipping is. |

Well, I answered my own question. It's $7.56 to ship it to my place. That makes it about $4 less than what my vet charges and that's not including the money and time spent driving their cause its about 30 minutes away. They say shipping takes about 5-7 days, which isn't bad. So for anyone in Ontario, Canada, do check it out! |

Where is your vet?? The vet that I buy it from is in Oakville, and it costs $56 for a 5 lbs bag  And it's about an hours drive for me!
About the web order, the shipping may sound little, but they might charge you C.O.D when they deliver it. Because I sometimes order from an American Website (bird safe store) and the price is $28 US, and shipping is the same as you said, but when it got to my house, I had to pay another $55 to the delivery guy for a customs charge or something like that. I think the way do avoid that C.O.D charge is to order by express shipping where it doesn't go through customs, which costs a lot more, and ends up being about the same as if you get it locally. |

Ok, I'm such a dork  I just looked up the site, and I realised that it's in Ontario. OK, so never mind  we wouldn't have to pay the customs charge. Woohoo!! Thanks for telling us about this, I'm definitely gonna give them a try! Let me know where your vet is also, please  |

I get my pellets at Burloak Animal Hospital. Though the ride is scenic thanks to Bronte Creek, I prefer not to waste the time and gas. Yeah exotic wings is in Ontario. They also have lots of nice toys too. |

Oh, hehe, I get my food from Burloak also, I guess you were saying the price without tax. But, yeah, that's an hours drive from me  I think it would definitely come out cheaper if I order it from the site you recommended. Thanks again! Oh and yes, I noticed they have a wide variety of toys and things, I wonder if it might be worth it to make a trip over there one day. |

I was actually calculating the price of the food from Exotic wings with tax and the price with tax at the vets. With shipping it comes to $52 at Exotic Wings and $56 at the vets. From Mississauga, Exotic Wings is about an hours drive. |

Oh, ok, yeah I see where I went wrong in the calculations. I didn't add tax to what you originally posted, so I was getting $45.55 as the total for the Exotics wings order.
So if it's an hour's drive from you, then it's probably around an hour and 15 mins to an hour and a half for me. Not that bad  . |
