I ordered a crap load of home theater cables from them just before Christmas...I have had ZERO issues with any of mine, and their prices are unbeatable. The quality seems just as good as any of the overpriced sh!t out there today too! I shipped USPS because once it gets into Canada it transfers to CanadaPost, which is better than UPS imo.
I have heard great things about them. I too need to order stuff but I am not sure if I can get a list done tonight since I am traveling tomorrow for work.

For basic cables, they are okay. It depends on what kind of cable you want to buy.
Most people like the PRICE the best... to be honest the quality of the cables is just average and sometimes below average.
If you want to order some good cables at a good price, I suggest:
bluejeanscables.com
I am not one of these guys that claims that cables make a big difference... but cheap cables sometimes crack or use crappy connectors that get loose and also just look ugly. Sometimes its nice to have flexible, durable, nylon-jacketed cables with nice robust heavy connectors. For some types of audio cables it also does make a difference, it depends on what you're doing. For example, if you are patching a dedicated source to a dedicated amp, you should be careful about your cables. But if you're buying speaker wire or a HDMI cable or toslink optical cable, it doesnt really matter.

I have ordered from them twice and are very happy with them. I compared my 200 dollar monster hdmi cable to their 25 dollar hdmi cable and there was no difference.
GST + duty (don't think I've ever had duty slapped on monoprice stuff) + $5 customs fee through USPS->CanadaPost. Although I beleive that using UPS Global Expedite there are none of their stupid brokerage fees, just GST + duty when it arrives (I could be wrong though).
My stuff came from monoprice.com today, which is just under 1 week shipping. I bought RCA cables, HDMI cables, Wii component cable, LCD computer wall mount, 30”- 62” 160lb tilting wall mount for LCD and a 30” – 62” 160lb tilting and swiveling wall mount.
The tilting and swiveling wall mount has yet to show up as it was shipped on its own but should be here tmr. I have no idea if any of the cables work and the actual quality of signal in the cable but the overall construction of the cables looks good. The RCA cables do seem to have “mid grade” connectors on them from some of the other cables that I own. I personally am not a big believer in $100 cables making or braking your HT and I am sure they are going to sound just the same as my other cables in the house.
The computer screen wall mounts seem to be made of high gage metal, the mounts swivel and tilt. The swiveling motion is very smooth, well the tilting requires you to loosen a plastic wing nut at the back and make your adjustments before retightening. I picked these up so I could get my monitors off of my desk and have more space for my text books. At $7 each looks like they will be a steal!
I did not fully unpack the tilting LCD wall mount but the mounting plate and all other parts seem to be made of high gage metal. I did some reading on this mount before buying it and everyone seemed to be happy with it, although several people did suggest picked up better mounting screws for the wall so I will hit up RONA today during my lunch. Again at $25 it looks like this is going to be a great wall mount.
I will keep you updated on how everything turns out.
