Atlantic Canada - Some potential vendors

[abbym]

Hey kavians

I'm a new user here searching for the best import prices in Atlantic Canada (most vendors only make available outrageous 36$ shipping prices)
Hopefully this will be helpful to friends and new Canadians looking to try out kava without destroying the wallet (a mistake I probably made going to konakava)

Below are approximate prices for root powder as of June 7th, 2015, and includes as many price-worthy vendors as I could find

Name Price Shipping Cost ($USD @ 1/2lb)
Kava King @ iherb.com - 14$ 1/2lb - $5 shipping ($15-19, use the first-buyers coupon)
Kava by Rex - 16.5$ 1/2lb, $20 shipping ($36)
KavaBoy - $16 1/2lb - $20 shipping ($36)
ParadiceKava - Borogu - $25 1/2lb - $12 shipping ($37)
Gourmet Hawaiian Kava - $26 1/2lb - $15 shipping ($41)
Bula Kava House - $22 1/2lb - $20 shipping ($41 - discounts in bulk!)
KAVA KAUAI - $22 1/2lb - $20 shipping ($42)
HawaiianKavaCenter - $23.5 1/2lb - $25 shipping ($48)
Noble Kava - $33usd 1/2lb - $0? shipping ($33?)
herbco - 11.5$ 1/2lb - doesn't ship to Canada? "Invalid Request"


kavaking on iherb looks suspect, but it's certainly cheap with $5 airmail.
Buying in bulk @ 2+lb is best for Canada
You may also find it in company stores, one here is sneakily selling it behind the counter (as it's illegal to sell)

If there's any Canadians out there, it would be useful to to hear your preferred vendor!

I'm in Ontario Canada and I've only bought from GHK so far. Shipping ranged from just under a week to approximately 2 weeks, but that was probably customs.

I've been buying by the lb from GHK, Bula Kava house, and Paradise. I actually came on here to ask this exact question almost, who has the best low cost Kava. With the canuck buck tanking as of late, this is becoming a concern of mine. GHK and Paradise shipped First class, Bula shipped Priority. GHK and Paradise is 2 weeks to Ontario, Bula about 1 week, ships out of the US. All three on average charge $20 to ship to Canada.I'll have to check out those others you listed.
