the price sounds right and you can find same deal if not better on Ebay (since this store won't ship until end of Aug) but the customs and tax will cost you around $45 Cdn.

The only way to get out of the custom fee is if they would mark this item down at a value of lower then $20 Cdn for value. Also UPS sucks they always try to send to their custom broker so they can make money.

Try to find a Canadian web site that sales this light and when you do please let me know and I will buy one too.

Cheers

I've read mixed reviews...sounded like they are bad with service and such, but the light strip was pretty good. The lights needs to be changed though since they are the "bulk variety" type.

I don't know...I am still considering...maybe it works maybe not...if i do get it...i will let u guys know.

THANK YOU ALL!

I forgot one more thing is that you have to do some rewiring if I remebered it right. Since only one plug comes out if you want to put the LED night light on a timer and the light on the other one then you have to rewire it.
