I don't think that's really true. As an American who does a lot of tech support for a lot of people, I can tell you that I've never met anyone who felt that way, and I've truly never heard anyone say that about Canada. I've heard people say that they won't buy online from *any* foreign country, but that's more out of security fears. They don't single Canada out as a place not to buy from.
I actually think that the people I know that are hesitant to buy from "foreign" websites would probably be ok buying from Canada. Most people I know in the US don't even think of Canada as a truly "foreign" country.
