    About to purchase the 150em, need some feedback on shipping cost to Canada, which could be the deciding factor. Can i get some input on the different resellers regarding shipping fees and dutie fee's.

    Hi, unless you select UPS Standard to Canada, the only fees you should have to pay are your local GST/PST/HST taxes once the notebook arrives. Shipping rates vary depending on courier and method. USPS is a lot cheaper than UPS but the delivery times can be a lot longer. Note: UPS Standard to Canada has a large, hidden brokerage fee that is usually around $100, so I would avoid this shipping method.

    I understand that all US based resellers need the $99 payment towards UPS express to avoid those charges.

    Reflex does not have any shipping, brokerage or UPS express needed is that correct?

    Are there any other resellers that do not have those fees?

    If you are concerned with shipping/brokerage fees, you can swap the $50 OFF discount on our site for Free Shipping & Brokerage to Canada. We also offer local warranty service in Canada, so you never have to ship it back across the border, and we pay shipping both ways within Canada.

    We have many Canadian customers here on the forums who can attest to this :)

    For the "Free Shipping & Brokerage to Canada" is there a checkbox that we need to check, or is this something we have to email about, after we place an order?

    Hi, there is a comment box on checkout (located right above the payment options) simply put "Free Shipping & Brokerage to Canada" and include your NBR username and then select USPS Priority Mail as the shipping method, and we'll apply the discounts to your order once we receive it. :)

    Sorry if I'm being a bother, but I'd just like to make sure the promotion is still valid as I plan to place an order tonight, or tomorrow.

    Thanks

    I'm looking at a service called CBIUSA.com that let's you ship and pick up your items there. Reviews I've read on it so far have been good. My aunt did something similar with car parts earlier this year.
