Hi, I just joined the forum. Yes, the shipping to Canada shocked me as well. I live close to the border so I had it shipped to a receiving company in Point Roberts, WA. Cost of their service $2.75. Cost of shipping from Entourage $28 (that's the expedited service)

...Although, I shouldn't be gloating as I haven't picked it up yet (it should be here tomorrow or Wednesday) and I am expecting to be dinged for at least the taxes at the border which should be about $65. It's interesting, Boris, that you didn't have to pay them. I'll post an update when I get it. I'm not sure if I will have duty to pay or not. I think it depends whether is says Made in USA on the package. If it doesn't I might have to pay another 6%. .... Oh well, at least our dollars are pretty much at par....
