Bought my ZX81 direct from the UK after seeing their ad in Pop Sci [i].
Later on, there was a store called Gladstone Electronics in Toronto that sold software and many peripherals for the Sinclair line of micros. [ii]
Even built my own full sized keyboard for the ZX81 and learned Z80 assembler through owning it. Great memories!!

This ad I found on ebay is awfully tempting:
