    Hi I recently ordered my Clevo through Mythlogic. Looking at my shipping options USPS had just been stopped because of the Lithium battery transit issue.

    Any form of UPS would have cost me well over 200 dollars.

    Enter CBIUSA. Their website is cbiusa.com and they essentially a holding company in Niagara Falls New York.

    How it works is that you order you product from the States and have it delivered to their facility. I paid standard ground shipping from Mythlogic to CBIUSA for about 35.00 dollars standard ground. It arrived there in 3 days time. They hold it for you for a 6.00 charge. in the end instead of paying 230 dollars for UPS I paid 41.00 dollars total by picking it up in the States.

    Coming back into Canada you have to declare it at the border and pay HST on the items.

    All in all it worked out rather well for me and I'm in the car writing this on my shiny new clevo! I'll post a review of Mythlogic on the reseller board (Or rather add to my existing post) and a short review on the W150ERQ board soon.

    I would totally would do business with CBIUSA again and probably will in the future.

    TLDR: Went to the States to pick up my Clevo from CBIUSA, total cost: 41 dollars.
