    Have any of you Canadians figured out how to get Dell USA models shipped to Canada? I want to buy a 1705 model from the states because the price difference is about 600 CAD for near-identical models.

    Short of driving over the border and getting it shipped there, is there a good way to make it happen? I've been checking ebay and the prices aren't very good either.

    Any ideas?

    Dell won't do it on their own. There are some services I've heard of that do this for you, but no idea as to the cost.

    Thanks Brian and Zaz...

    I do have relatives down there so maybe I'll just have to do it that way.

    Oh, and another question:

    Does Dell honor the completecare warranty in countries other than the USA?

    That would probably fall under their international support, if the product was purchased in the USA and you had to warranty it in Canada.

    What config are you exactly looking for anyways?

    Thanks Squampton.

    I phoned my uncle down south but he said he can't help me out.

    If anyone has another idea, I'd love to hear from you...

    There's a business here for someone willing to figure it out.
