No, I have no relatives or friends in the US. I find that it gets complicated and usually cost me more doing it that way anyhow. Brokerage fees: $50, GST etc. The same unit here costs anywhere from $399-$550 I'm going to wait for a bit longer to see how the market deals with this issue of our dollar being on par with yours. Electronics in Canada simply should not cost as much as they do.
I ended up getting my Onkyo 805 for $750CAD including all the fees from the US because of the huge price difference here. I just don't get it
