Canadian retailer for packing cubes

If you have the retail store 'Winners' or 'Marshals, or TJ Maxx, bought my cubes at Winners for a very good price. I have seen them in all these stores one time or another

The CAA carries cubes at their stores.I think anyone can buy there.Also, Amazon.ca would have them or a local luggage store or a sporting goods store.

MEC carries them too.

Nicole,

I think you were recently in Toronto... I was as well and saw them at a retailer called Europe Bound. Can't remember which brand but it was nice to see them in person. You might check if they offer online sales.

I found some at TJMaxx once. They had the larger ones, (like mine from RS), then also a set of small ones that I use for my makeup and toiletries.

MEC also has physical stores where you can touch the merchandise.

Nicole,

How about this......

I've always found their service to be reliable.

Thanks all. We do have a winners here but it's a winners/home sense combo and not very big, so there isn't a huge section of travel related stuff. But I'll keep an eye out since they are always getting new items. There is a marshalls in Halifax, along with a MEC (I did a quick check on their website but didn't see cubes before I posted this question, I must have missed something). Halifax also has a big Atmosphere store (I think it's called...sells sports/camping gear) so will check that out as well next time we hit the big city! I wish I had thought about it when we were in Toronto, but I didn't really realize how great the cubes were until after we got home or I would have had a little look when we were shopping.

I'll check out the Amazon link...thanks again.

...any thoughts on the eagle creek compression cubes vs regular cubes?

I have both. I bought the regular silnylon ones first and then bought the silnylon compression ones when they came out. I like the compression ones better. I use a medium one for shirts and the regular one is a little big for what I take. I'm a plus size so it's not like we are talking teeny pieces of clothing! I usually take 5 short sleeve shirts and one long sleeve and there is slack in the regular cube so I prefer a tighter fit.

I did find that the compression one packs better if I flat fold rather than roll. The shape when compressed was kind of humped with rolling the contents and flatter when folding.

What? I thought Canadian Tire had everything!

I don't have any RS bags, however, I bought an Ikea Family set of 4 packing bags at our Edmonton Ikea for $7.99 Canadian!

Tried them out on a short trip and loved them. Unfortunately, Ikea doesn't sell them online but at least you can look at the description/photos to see if it might be worth a trek to their nearest store. Maybe you have an Ikea store in Halifax?

Ugh...Halifax isn't getting an ikea store until summer 2017. On the flip side, it is gonna be a giant one! Everyone is super excited because all we were expecting was a distribution depot (not the right wording, but one where you would order stuff and pick it up there. People freaked when they find out it was gonna be a full size one).

We visited our very first ikea when we were just in Toronto and spent two freaking hours there! Part of that was eating lunch tho.

I did find the bags on the MEC site...prices look pretty good for theirs. I'll get hubby to stop in next time we head to Halifax and check them out.

Nicole,

Are you a member of MEC? You'll have to buy a cheap membership before shopping there. It used to be $5 but I'm not sure what it is now. They just opened a store in Kelowna, so I'll be able to shop there more easily, instead of ordering online.

Ken...I do have a membership there. We actually went in once and they had Ritter sport chocolate bar flavours that we couldn't find anywhere else so we sprang for a membership...lol. I also got my Teva sandals there.

Just wanted to throw out really quick - we did finally make it to MEC yesterday and I picked up one of the large and very lightweight nylon cubes for $10. It'll hold a couple pairs of jeans and probably a pair of capris or pj pants as well. I gotta dig my RS bag out from behind a ton of stuff and see how it fits in, but most likely will pick up another cube for my shirts and just use the small Heys one I have for my underthings.

I find Bentley's has a lot of things and normally some good sales.
