    No. I called gateway and they said no matter what it would ship from the US. But anyways they cant right now because they dont even have stalk. Our only option is to order online from bestbuy USA.

    From Bestbuy.com
    You can go here for the webpage itself..

    I'm not too sure, but you can try calling Bestbuy.com USA (1-888-237-8289), and see if they will let you since they don't have the laptop in Canada, or see if a store in Canada is willing to help by trying to transfer the product from a US store... not too sure how flexible each department is, most stores are rigid and won't help other stores it seems like.

    BB Canada no longer stock the lappy, BB USA wont ship to Canada and Gateway in Canada dont even sell anything. Gateway in the USA wont ship to Canada either.

    So you are f@#$ed to say the least.

    2 weeks thats sounds nice, Gateway in the US did say to find a friend in the Us to buy it for me. What a bunch of wankers, anyway i bought mine from BB
    Canada three weeks ago, since then they have had 5 in stock.

    Your not going to get it from Canada mate.

    Three weeks ago? That's quite lucky of you. I got mine the first week it appeared and it was the last one.

    I'm really interested in what you have planned happening in 2 weeks, Xirurg?
