Copic Markers in Edmonton
 

I just wanted to share that today I went to Delta Art and Drafting Supply and they have every color of the Copic Sketch markers and some of the original Copic markers in stock. Here is their website for their address:
http://deltaart.ca/

And they are on sale until Jan 3... $6.23 for the sketch and they have a great selection.... he said the price will go up to $9.50 per marker after the New Year!

9.50 that is insane cheapes in vacouver is abou 6. but sometimes a coupon comes out and i get it 40% off wowza over there.

mokkabella, where do you buy yours in Vancouver... I wonder if they would ship to Edmonton? 40% off that's a great price... I know I almost fell over when he said $9.50 per marker... insane!

its clipper street but, they have a 40% coupon every once and a while on one line. i think its instore only, thats the bad part i got email that this other lss is selling it 8bucks but this store i hardly shop at they are always more$$$$ than the other lss in town for the same stuff

i hear a lot of ppl order from here. i havent yet but thinking on getting some more that i dont have colours on... http://stores.stampinandscrappin.com/StoreFront.bok

The Paint Spot on Whyte Ave currently has their copic sketch markers on for $7 each. Selection is limited. They are expecting more in but they'll be at a higher price - they are not sure what but they say it won't be $9.50. They will also be getting sets in. Kim, Honey, and the rest of the staff have been extremely helpful. I had questions on mica paints (my Christmas wish list item before I discovered copic markers in the New Year) and Kim was fantastic helping me over the phone! Please let me know if you find a cheaper way to order them in Edmonton.

the LSS that I teach at in Langley (Precious Memories) carries copic ORIGINALS (the big ones) in almost every colour available for them (around 150) and they are $6.20. the cheapest i've seen anywhere in canada... they also carry the airbrush systems, and have all of the re-inkers etc...

Peggy at Paperworks is in Edmonton and just started carrying copics. $6.50 ea for the sketch and a free marker with every 15 purchased!

I've been doing the same thing as mokkabella, buying them in Clipper Street when they have 40% off one line. Unfortunately, Clipper got rid of their online store. Also, you can get them at a really good price when the sale is on at dickblick.com. Even with shipping from US they were cheaper than buying them here full price. One more Canadian source for Ciaos (they don't carry Sketch or Originals) is currys.com - they are $3.49 and they have free shipping over $35.

happyinker

making memories with scrapbooking are selling them $8 a shot
no thanks...i did get a couple cause i just have to have those colours but its a lot compared to what clipper is selling them for. i think they pay their staff well as other stuff is way more expensive to and they dont have any sales at all.

Hey mokkabella

I keep hearing about Making Memories with Scrapbooking from others, I've never been there myself, where exactly are they? I love Clipper, but it is so far to go... I live in Kitsilano. I'm Impressed on Granville Island carries Originals, they are something like $6.50 or so, but then so many things there are overpriced. I think it is the same price in Scrapbook Warehouse. Opus is advertising online Sketch for $7.90. Way too much.

Never mind, I googled it. :-) I need another cup of coffee.

i ordered some from stampand scrappin now they are 6.25
merri artist in the states still have for 4.46 us and i got the shipment within a week it was super fast including a stat day wow did about 100 usd and paid 19 in duty not too bad

making memories there is 49and clarendon and one on hasting past the pne
i dont go there too much they carry diff pp than the others and the basic grey is cheaper than cliippers

there is a clipper in richmond on steveston hwy by hwy 99 by london drugs
its smaller but they have copics there.


im impressed i find their prices have gone down their hero arts prices went down with the dollar precious i foudn were about $5 more per acrylic set. for comparison.

but i have been finding too many things online that i like that arent in those stores anyways now lol

enjoy your coffee:)

Thanks for this thread... I was just thinking I'd like buy some this morning. But not sure now if they are going upto $8 a pen... that's a bit rich for me. :(

no thats at that one store.

i just came from Rath Art Supply on Main and about 6th in Vancouver, and he has a really good selection of re-inkers, SOME copic originals, and a pretty good selection of sketch and Ciao's. he gave me the originals for $3 each, and the sketch for $4.50!!!!!!!!!!

wwwwwwwwwhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is so so so cheap... im going to google and see if they are open tomorrow
wowza

thanks thats like 10 minute drive from my house.


not a great hood but thats okay.

love your doggie in your avatar...

Thanks! That's our ten year old maltese-poodle named Willie...

It's such a hard life being a dog, you know...

On a separate note, I really have to stop adding to my Copic Collection. I am at 120... I said I never buy the entire set but I'm past a third of the way there.... yikes!

How bad have you been ;) ??

i wanna give him an ear rub hehee..
i think i have 130

i did go to that store that jazzytobi and got some more.. nice owner likes to chat..

And how about your puppy (in your avatar)? He's awfully cute, too!

Thanks, I don't feel so bad now... you have more than me :)

I can't help buying more... so addictive.

Do you or does anyone need the Copic Color-in Chart?
I found this chart extremely helpful to see what colors/blending options I have... and I take it whenever I go Copic shopping so that I don't buy any more doubles ;)

oh i have a few doubles erk.. i have it written on a sheet. couple of times i forgot to take it and got couple of dupes. i put them aside now..and take it with in case they have new colours.i usually good with the numbers lol
colours/blending option would be great.

my dog is 4 1/2 now that pic was the 2nd day we got her she is 1/2 cocker and 1/2 cavalier king charles and she has attitude, princess of the house lol

I went to Delta today and I got a set of 72 Copic sketches for $456.58 (+ $22.83 GST = $479.41). The original price was $683.50 before taxes. Fabulous selection!

That's $6.34 per marker.

The owner even let me substitute the 5 markers I had from the set of 72 with 5 markers I needed!!! SO coool! I will be shopping there again!!!!

Hey Amanda,
Glad to hear you are finding some great deals...lots to be had in Canada too:D

As far as certification....I'm doing an ALBERTA CERTIFICATION RUN this summer. I'm in Calgary on AUGUST 22nd and in Edmonton AUGUST 29th!

Would love to see some fellow SCSer's there!
I'm in the midst of prepping for it all right now:D

I love buying from Paperworks, the service has been fabulous. I was very happy to find a Canadian company with nice prices.

...and I'm bummed the class is on the 29th. My husband is taking me to Vegas for our 25th anniversary. I would have loved to take the course! Maybe next time.

Hi Sherri,

Guess what??? Peggy and I will both be THERE for the Edmonton one!!!! YAY! :mrgreen:
We are registered, and counting the sleeps until August 29...

We are both so excited to meet and learn from you!!!
Your tutorials and projects are amazing

Doin' the happy dance....

im on the waiting list...oh im so keeping my fingers crossed on getting into the Calgary one..

It is going to be so fun! FYI you might have an easier time getting into the edmonton one, the calgary one is filling up very quickly....

Looking forward to seeing you Peggy and Amanda!

sadly i cant do the Edmonton one, im off on the Disney cruise....
other wise i would ..
are there going to be anymore in Alberta?

Is Calgary filling up that fast? Those Calgarians - lol!

I almost fell off my chair when I got the email from Copics that we were registered...

My growing collection is around 240... (notice how I said "growing" :rolleyes:) and I also have the Copic airbrush compressor on its way so this class could not have come at a better time.

I attempted to use my hubbie's compressor (a smaller 1 gallon one) and almost airbrushed the wall when I jumped from when it turned on - lol!!! Do not recommend that....;)

So excited!!

Hmmmm certification or a DISNEY CRUISE....tough choice! LOL! Have a fabulous time...I'm sure you will!:D

Thanks Sherrie...

Whaahh! I want to be there with you Sherrie! those will be some fun classes this summer.

We'll miss you at CHA summer :(

They are going to be REALLY fun....and I'm missing coming to the summer CHA too....You guys have so much fun at the booth! Be sure to post pics!
