^ yep, to us canadians everything looks like a good deal when looking at US sites. after everything is said and done, that will prolly cost you about $15-1600CDN.
plus remember also no warrenty, and the possibility of receiving defective equipment. i know it sucks though cause you look in canada and it'd prolly cost $2000 retail for the same package. |

| I bought my mixer from there. Excellent service and yes you will always be paying for brokerage fees across the border but I still paid a lot less than you would in Canada. Also remember how well our dollar is doing now, up to 85 cents so $880US = $1045CAD. Shipping costs might hurt you though since its a whole package. To find out the brokerage fees just call up UPS or Canada customs and based on the price of the goods they will tell you how much it will cost when it crosses the border. |

if you can. ship them as "warranty replacement" with a value of $50 us.
a little risky if they get lost/or stolen on the way but it saves you big time with duties/taxes. Ive sent lots of car parts that way and it works everytime.
sending as a gift wont work.
thats a good price too |
