Members PheesOriginal Posted January 11 Members Report Posted January 11 Buckleguy has been our supplier for years and although we love the quality, their prices spiked significantly last year. Alibaba has been suggested to me a few times but it’s such a complex platform with SO many options I don’t know where to start or who to trust. Would be open to suggestions of companies to look into on AB who are trusted sources. Does anyone have any sources outside of the usual suspects? We’re in Canada but willing to purchase internationally. Quote

Other sources are Temu and Aliexpress. Depending on the quality and quantity find the item on say Temu and then go to Alibaba. Then you could buy one off say Temu and chances are the manufacturer will have their label on the item then contact that manufacturer directly.

It is cheaper for me to purchase dye from them and pay the shipping then buy it anywhere in Ontario. I'm in Eastern Ontario have purchased most of my leather in Montreal but have purchase on occasion purchased from Zelikrovitz in Ottawa https://www.zelistore.com/en-ca?srsltid=AfmBOooyTM4vv_4UX6qKoAuFBz284O3uiStWwlYvo3ns8cR66VQuM-Jv To narrow your search what kind of items are you looking for???? kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

Members PheesOriginal Posted January 12 Author Members Report Posted January 12 Thanks for those links, I've used most of these for odds and ends in the past although I haven't heard of Zelikrovitz they seem to have a decent stock of leather. We use a bunch of different pieces of hardware, probably 100 different sku's between belt buckles, centre bar buckles, double cap rivets, burr rivets, tuck locks, segma snaps, line 24 snaps, trigger snaps, sling lever hooks, fish hooks, key rings, grommets just to name a few - all in four different finishes (brass, nickel, antique brass, black pvd). So yeah, it's going to be a big task replace all of our hardware with new sourcing but we have to start diverting away from BG since the price jumps last year. Appreciate the feedback! Quote

The last time I was there their stock was pretty slim pickings. May have just been between restocking. The place that I would recommend but forgot to include the link is https://en.cuirdizazzo.com/ in Montreal. kgg Edited January 12 by kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
