don't know about international shipping, but i do get everything shipped to Canada.  For price you can't beat jensonusa.com, supergo.com or pricepoint.com.  For more personalized service try speedgoat.com or for one on one personal expertise try Larry Mettler at http://www.mtnhighcyclery.com.  those are the ones i've used and had success with.  I've been burned by cambriabike.com and the performance cycle group but your experience may vary.

Jase I have used pricepoint and found that the freight is the biggest variable...make sure you get them to quote the freight before you order and pay and if you can get em to get a US postal service price as well!!!!
