    Unless you have friends or relatives in Canada that can forward it to you, there's virtually no way of doing that. But the thing is, with 200$ difference, you won't be able to save much. There's the USD to CAD conversion that's always against the buyer. Next, you have to pay for the shipping to the US (it may cost you around 100$ easily depending on a method). If we were talking about 1k difference, your idea would be worthy of being considered.

    Every canadian such as myself dreams of having the customization from the US, not sure why you'd want to order from canada. :/
    I know there's the deal going on where you can save up to $400, but you're also paying for a useless 3gb graphics card, no plate customization (if you're superficial), and just all around less options.
