    Dont know where this thread would belong but my question is

    Does anyone know if there are extra costs for Pro-stars Ground shipping to canada? I've been told there arent any extra costs for the "Ground Shipping to Canada" , but ive also been told that it does have a brokerage fee or something.

    Can anyone confirm if its entirely free shipping??

    If Pro Star is in the US (or just not Canada), there may be customs fees and they could hold it.

    When they say ``includes brokerage fee`` does that mean you have to pay for a brokerage fee or is it included in the free shipping so i dont have to pay

    Also will resellers state if u need to pay for brokerage fees or taxes? and also how much it is when ur about to order a laptop?

    Im wondering if its cheaper to just buy the np9150 from reflex, but unfortunately I dont think they offer any cpu or ram downgrades and also no -$100 from autumn savings :S.
    I did ask about these downgrades and the sales but still waiting for a response from novah

    Hopefully this option will be cheaper than buying it from prostar or any other US resellers

    Reflex can price match other resseller if you ask.

    And yes, Reflex follow Sager for every savings/sales.

    If you go UPS Ground you have to pay UPS brokerage fees at the time of delivery which average $80-100. There is also the UPS Express which UPS will not have brokerage fees on top of that so its cheaper in the long run. You will have to pay any taxes (PST/GST/HST) at the time of delivery regardless of which shipping method you select.

    i bought from prostar 2~3 month ago, if you choose free shipping, you would have to pay the 80~100 brokerage fee, or you can choose the express shipping which is $50, but includes brokerage fee. i went with the second option, shipped in 2 days
