I needed some breakers for my garage re-wire and I couldn't source them locally.
A bit of research turned up a company called Canada Breakers out of Toronto.
Free shipping on orders over $50.
At noon on Aug 18 I ordered three breakers.
15A 2P
40A 2P
20A 1P
They arrived today at 11 am. So basically 48 hr. delivery at zero extra cost to me!

I just went to Home Depot for breakers when I had the box changed in the garage.
I tried that as the panel came from H-D. They didn't have the configuration I needed in stock and it was a 2 week lead time to get them.

Apparently breakers are a popular theft items for the low life's, but i can't figure out why...is it just because they are expensive and easy to pocket?

Not to highjack David's thread, but after our renovation this past year, I have 5-6 used (ITE?) breakers. If I try to sell them, how much is a reasonable price?

I used Amazon recently. No box store in my vicinity had a Siemens 30A one-pole GFCI (for an rv post). 30% cheaper than HD, here next day. Same with the outdoor rated Siemens box for the post...... not stocked at HD/Lowes. Sad, but the way of the world now.

I have a whole whack of breakers from old panels - I will put them up on here when I get home - just postage if you guys can use them. Mostly from renovations and upgrading peoples panels - I have one 60 amp Siemens that would do a shop nice if it fit a main panel. home in a couple weeks......
