    Hi,
    I looked at a lot of places, but I can't find any place that has the asus C90S in stock anywhere. Anyone has some suggestions?

    Well, this is what I do; I have all the stuff I buy online sent to a friend in the States via free shipping or as close to free shipping as possible, and then they send it to me here in Lithuania.

    Works every time.

    I had mine sent from gentech to my cousins in the US, then shipped up to me in Canada. It just takes a long time for it to get through customs and all that (its business day 7 for me). Saves a lot of hassle though because american companies have better stock.

    milestonepc.com seems to have it in stock... worth a call.

    Get it from 1toppc (gentech). Shipping is $40.

    It's the lowest price you can find, there is a canadian website that ends up with the same price (adter conversion) but it's not a reliable one.

    well, theres also customs. There's been a lot of debate about that and you might get charged duties (but supposedly canada doesn't make laptops so there should be no duties charged) and you will get charged your PST and GST but you might get lucky and the customs dude might miss it.

    They don't always charge. I doubt they'll charge GST/PST, even if you buy online from another province, they'll only charge GST.

    My dad works for DHL and he's never got customs on computer parts, although he did had to charge $80 customs on a $15 packaging one time


    I just checked on UPS' website, customs fee for a $1500 package are $65 (if charged)
