Good evening, Charles,

Unfortunately no. The Kitchener location is only sales/support offices. They ship out of the US, just like Digi-Key. That said, both of these companies are very, very good. I find Mouser’s prices to be slightly cheaper in general, but Digi-Key’s search and site are much, much better. I often end up using Digi-Key’s site to find what I’m after, then spot-checking Mouser’s prices and if the price difference is great enough (and I get both carts over the free shipping thresholds) I’ll often buy from Mouser.
