Online Orchid pot source with reasonable shipping to Canada?

[Emerald27]

Does anyone know of a website that sells clear plastic pots, net pots, but most importantly, slotted ceramic orchid pots like the ones sold on Repotme.com but has reasonable shipping charges to Canada (BC)? I've never found any with shipping charges under $30 and that's a little steep for just needing a couple pots.

Can't find any local places to buy them. Thanks!

In short, not really! We, canucks, discovered long time ago that Canadian vendors are spare and inbetween and all the goodies are south of the border but shipping charges makes it totally ridiculous to order! (Latest CanadaPost developments don't help either.....)

If you want more info, here's one of the threads on the subject.

There was an orchid supply company in Canada I saw on the Internet not long ago, I think in BC. I don't think they even shipped to the US, they were Canada-specific. I can't remember their name right now, if I do, I'll let you know.

Oh here it is Ravenvision, Orchid Growing Supplies for Canadians

Looks like they may have only plastic pots though.

I order almost all my pots from this place, I'm sure they ship to Canada. They have awesome clay pots with holes all over them! Green Barn Orchid Supplies Potting Mixes Clay Orchid Pots Plant Food Fertilizer Baskets Delray Beach Florida
They are in Florida, but shipping to Canada isn't much more than shipping to New York probably.

Here are my pot sources:

Clay pots with slits - Lowes

Net pots - ebay or amazon:
9GreenBox - 3 Inch Round Orchid/Hydroponics Slotted Mesh Net Pot - 20 Pack: Amazon.ca: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Plastic rand air cone pots:
Agrogreen Canada
(they are having website problems now, but when it clears you will find pots under "Orchid growing supplies')

Thank you so much everyone!

Another alternative is to have them shipped to one of those "shipping services" along the border in the US, and hand-carry them across the border yourself.

If you're buying enough at one time, or can make it coincide with another excuse for the road trip, it'll save you a bundle.
