I need a new hard drive cable for my mid 2012 13" macbook pro. I'm having trouble finding one that ships to Canada and doesn't have horrible shipping times/prices.

ifixit is $11 but takes over a month to arrive. faster shipping is $35+.

newegg doesnt seem to ship to canada and their canadian site doesnt have them.
 
Ifixit. Shipping appears to be $10.

EDIT: Never mind.

EDIT 2: Interestingly, since Ifixit has a European store, I can actually get it over here in just 3 business days for €8.90 - from an American company...
It seems their shipping service is quite poor for you Canadians.
(I don't mean to gloat; just an observation. :))

Ncix? Tigerdirect?

Else just pay up for the shipping, it's not like you'd get it cheaper if you had it repaired by someone else.
 
Shipping to CA doesn't have to be terrible. I ship to CA all the time and if you use USPS First-Class International, the pricing is somewhat reasonable. But transit is 10 or so days, once you account for the 5-6 days for it to get there, plus 3-4 days in customs.

Some vendors don't like shipping using that method though because USPS has horrible tracking once a package leaves the US.
 
I found one on Amazon.ca. Maybe they'll ship a little faster? I can't figure out how fast it takes unfortunately. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00GJQCJWG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1430182667&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=macbook+pro+hard+drive+cable&dpPl=1&dpID=31GX1pRlIXL&ref=plSrch
