Default Help, Where To Buy... ?

This is more for my fellow Canadians on the board, but if anyone can give me any pointers it will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to locate somewhere preferably in Canada where I can buy in person or mail order the plain white paper record insert sleeves? I can find lots of places in the States but I can't find anywhere nationally or locally. I would prefer somewhere in Canada so I can avoid possible duty and customs charges. Any ideas? Thanks.

First of all, why would you want paper ones?! They scratch your records and shed dust into them. The plastic or polylined ones are *much* better.

Second, I don't know of any place to get them online in Canada. I buy mine at a local shop, but I don't think they do mail order. Since I'm three timezones away, I don't think that helps you much, but I can ask them next time I'm around... I need to get more soon anyway.

FWIW, I find that Canada Post doesn't usuall charge duty if the amount of the goods is less than $50 or so. I've only had to pay maybe 1 in 10 times, and that was from getting a whole bunch of stuff. The thing to keep in mind is that you DO NOT WANT anything sent by UPS from outside of the country. Their "brokerage fees" are a complete scam.
