Its a tax that the governmet will put on your fixtures when it hits the border depending on the shipping company you used.

If it's assembled in the USA it may not have Duty, so just GST/PST or HST depending on where you live.

But seriously, if you buy from the USA, be smart and ensure all your warranty work is done via the USA. It's not illegal. It's just being smart.

They just don't want to burden their Canadian distributors with Warranty work for something sold in the USA. It makes complete business sense.

If it breaks, Mail it from the States and have them return it to you in the states (there's plenty of PO box companies, brokers or mail forwarders that would be glad to work with you).

My bad I screwed up. Just went to purolator's web site and got an estimate. Its going to cost me between $102-$133. from Regina to Calgary, assuming I want the package to be covered for damage I just LOST money buying it from you. :biggrin:

Look at using Canada Post or DHL (insured). May be cheaper. I'm sure the box is well protected already with padding.

Definately cheaper as I have sold a few items on ebay so I know my shipping to USA costs!

But so long as I purchase my kernels from an authorized distributor I can send my kernels back to the manufacturer where they will repair or replace my kernels. So just make sure your kernels are purchased legitimately and you should be okay. Come on, haven't you learned anything here?? :lol:

No more Radions for sale!- sorry to all that were interested

Got a email from Paypal this morning:

"We have concluded our investigation into your case and have decided in your favor. We were able to recover $.......USD and this amount has been credited to you. Please allow five business days for this adjustment to be posted. If you are due any additional funds, we will make our best effort to recover the balance from the seller".

Just so everyone knows a definate vendor to avoid is CAD Lighting.

Its weird to me that the US retailers (at least Marine Depot) are charging an extra $45 for the hanging kit which is included for free in the Canadian models or at least is should be.

I was told the US retailers are only permitted to sell to the US market. The warranty is most-likely one way Ecotech is enforcing that policy.

So i guess it would be:

$749 + $45 + tax + customs fee (if you did not drive to the US to pick it up)
Approx: 873 (with 5% tax)

Sorry if this is getting off topic. Glad you got your refund from paypal.

There is a basic kit included in the box but there is a premium hanging kit available at extra cost.

The ones I still have on order are not even close to $873. They are actually cheaper than the first 4 but I was told a month back I would have them in a week so I paid more to get them. CAD Lighting website claimed they were first to get them and they were "instock". Since then their website has changed.

unclesalty 09-29-2011 07:38 PM

I also cancelled 1 of my 4 fixtures this morning as I was recommended to do by a few people and an awesome honest seller! Thanks buddy!! and now that money can be put towards the mind boggling Vertex Cerebra Controller when its released!
