Unfortunately, Canadian hobby stores have the WORST e-commerce I have seen when it comes to sports cards. The main issue is, stores will post listings before they know their stock. So it shows up as sold out. Then when you enter e-mail notification, it doesn't really work. The following are stores I have ordered with and gotten stock on time etc with no problems BUT the site updates, communication and what not are not great. Examples:

401games:

Last week, Skybox showed up as $0, 0 stock, sold out. I entered in my e-mail to be notified, now it's sold out with no e-mail.

Last month they had Skybox for $150 and it sold out. Now they changed it 0 $0. I'm guessing more stock and markup is coming

Cup and Skybox have price and 0 stock there but they haven't actually sold any yet.

There's some other stores too but I haven't used them since the hobby explosion of 2020 so I will not endorse. Not that the stores above are much of an endorsement but at the very least you will not get scammed. Whether or not you catch them with stock is the main problem.
