Re: How to buy an N900 on Canada?
 

I actually have a buddy who stays in rochester during the week, so I pre-ordered from Amazon.com with my canadian credit card/billing address and had it shipped to his place in Rochester.

The other option I guess is expansys, though it is substantially higher, around 700 - 800 CDN as opposed to 650 CDN from Amazon after taxes, I wish I got on that dell deal though.

Check the other thread where MobileCityOnline will make much more sense then expansys which is a real rip-off...

If you're ordering via the states, good luck with those 'brokerage' fees.

Here's a cost calculator to find the final price of your US purchase.

Wow, Capt'n, that's a really good calculator. It helps explain why the no-hassle companies like expansys.ca often seem so much more expensive until you get the final bill.

Easiest way for Canadians to get it would be to simply cross the border into the U.S. , walk into a Besy Buy and purchase one, then take it home. Yes, Best Buy will have them, they've already got it listed on their website.

I've always found USPS to be the most reasonable way to get something through brokerage. $5.70 quoted there on a $100 order.

Re: How to buy an N900 on Canada?
 

agreed except that right now nobody is shipping through USPS to Canada ... :(

Re: How to buy an N900 on Canada?
 

Tell me about it... I've done quite a bit of shipping from the states, and my first bill was a real shocker. My jaw hit the ground when my first few back-to-back orders that I thought were a 'deal' cost hundreds of dollars more than I had expected.

When buying from the states, ebay is king. Many retailers ship USPS which has a flat rate brokerage cost (something in the order of $5, last time I checked).

Any update on Canadian retailers carrying the N900?

It's almost as if Canada has been forgotten!

i am buying it from amazon and shipping it to a friends place in chicago.

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

Lucky you! You may even be able to get the rebate if you trust your friend with money.

I'm hoping that some canadian retailer carries the unit soon, or I'll have to order the unit via friends/family as well.

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

Amazon.com lists as shipping after december 25th... wtf.

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

Amazon.com doesn't ship the N900 to Canada it seems.

There is an option of having it shipped to a UPS store near the border in the US. Once it arrives you would have to go pick it up. The cost is something like $20 for this service.

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

What date does yours show?

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

I did that with my N810, and well i was charged heavily on import duties.

Re: How to buy an N900 on Canada?
 

I have read this forum for years and came to rely on some good advice from technut -- who has left us and been replaced by qole.
So yesterday at 2pm I ordered from Expansys.ca. MasterCard refused the charge. I phoned MC, approved the charge, and phoned Expansys.ca at 4:45. The beast did not stop moving from Illinois -> Memphis -> Mississauga-> Don Mills -> my doorstep at 10am today. The phone calls to Expansys were answered on the first ring! If I consider my time and equanimity, the price was a bargain.

(( and qole remains on my short list to read carefully; that list began with technut, flegg (now jaffa), milhouse, Karel J ... Their contributions are very much appreciated.))

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

I ordered from http://www.ca-united.com, there are coupons can be found, just look around, so end up about less than $700 total and good thing is it ships in local Canada, takes 1 day if pay for the overnight. (expensive!)

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

Well, forget one thing, 3G data doesn't work! (I live in BC) So all our guys live in Canada must think twice. I just upgrade my N810, so, on EDGE is better than nothing anyway... :D

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
 

Has anyone tried to REDIRECT a UPS shipment from AMAZON.COM to have it sent to CANADA instead of whatever destination in the US.

it will cost a few bucks according to ups, 10 dollars + difference in shipping cost.

Someone in a diffrent forum suggested that amazon is able to restric those shipments to prevent this, but I'm gonna try on monday (I want my n900 before christmas damn it!)

Re: How to buy an N900 in Canada?
