Assuming that shipping is $25 you'd end up paying $235 Cdn landed. Now if they ship it UPS (which they usually do) you'll either have to clear customs yourself which can take up to an hour depending on where you live in relation to the Canada Customs & UPS. Or you'll pay UPS about $40 Cdn to clear customs for you, which they do by default if you don't ask them not to. So it's either $235 plus an hour driving around during the work week, or $275 to your door. If you buy it from J&L it will be $278 and since it's over $200 there won't be any shipping and you'll get it in 1/2 the time or less.

If you ask premiumaquatics, they will send the parcel USPS, and brokerage will be a flat rate of $5. One reason why premiumaquatics is a good place to MO in the U.S. over other MO U.S. vendors. I've done orders from them several times, been happy.

You're right there if that's the case. Most won't touch USPS for Int'l orders because it takes so long and they get so many calls asking where the product is. I prefer USPS if I'm not in a rush, much easier & cheaper. btw, Fedex seems to only charge $7 flat for clearing stuff. At least that's all they charged me yesterday when I got my co2 regulator (btw, boy does that baby look sweet).

Just to clairify something these are not the same unit ,the promo units are not made out of cast acrylic they are extruded ,also as for the pricing for the regular RS-80 there will be a reduction in price for the canadian market as well very soon.
Please contact your LFS in the next couple of days for new pricing
Regards
