Good online stores

While lurking, I noted a number of recommendations for comics that I'd like to check out. It's been a while since I've read comics and would love to start again. I'm mainly (only) looking at trades and collections and was wondering about what online stores everyone here uses.

I've ordered from Amazon.ca before (I'm Canadian, so Canadian friendly stores would be super) and found that really good but I think somewhat lacking in selection.

I checked the links page and noticed that no stores are listed, so maybe this thread will generate some good stores to add to that list of links. I've also tried Google but I really like to feedback before I ahead and give out my credit card information.

    eBay pretty much always has the best deals, but as far as an actual "store" is concerned, I tend to use Amazon.

    I use http://www.mycomicshop.com/ for singles, but they do sell trades. Though in terms of cost and shipping time, I would favor Amazon over them if you're just going to be buying trades.

    The best thing you could do is find a good local store, they have a hard enough time staying open as it is without competing with online stores.

    Yes, absolutely make sure you don't have any local shops before you go the online route. Not only will you be doing the shop and the hobby a favor, you'll probably get a good discount if you become a regular/member there.

    This one was recommended in another thread but I haven't used it.

    I've had good experience with that store. If my local shop doesn't have something, I use MCS.
