Does anyone know of any Canadian glassblowing suppliers? I'm looking to get a set of BoroTruView 3.0 Lampworking Glasses 33 and a National 3A-B hand torch, and some accessories, and all the suppliers I can find are in the US or UK (and the UK ones don't ship to Canada). Would rather avoid huge tariffs.
Edit: Other non-USA glassblowing suppliers that ship to Canada also welcome!

@Canageek I've used Monotaro here in Japan for a variety of parts & supplies, and they seem to carry that kind of kit as well. They too ship only domestically, but their page provides links to some o/s general suppliers. Some of those may ship beyond their borders?
The page (Japanese only, but the links work):

@funguy2playwith Dammit, they've got a category for national torches, but there's nothing in it
I should reach out and ask if they can get me one in though
@Canageek
Of course. I am sorry.
If you want, DM (toot me privately) me and we can figure out a way to get you what you need via US purchase and forward to you via USPS. I would be happy to help.
