Shipping to Canada is going to hurt me ($29). Just wanted to know if there are other places to shop, maybe a bit closer to home so the shipping price could be lower.

At this point in time, they're the only people outside of the Far East to sell them. Things could be worse - I paid $50 shipping for my Filco!

shipping to the US was $17 for a HHKBpro2, so $29 isnt really that bad.

No it won't. And no easy returns if there are any problems.

29$? nah, here's the Final Cost (http://www.thefinalcost.com/), which is probably closer to (http://www.entertonement.com/clips/gyxtbvgwtm--Actual-Retail-Price-800The-Price-is-Right-Bob-Barker-Price-is-Right-Announcer-)

edit: just got mine to Montreal via usps/canada post for 29$ cdn, the tracking was crap(no updates for almost 2 weeks) it took almost 2 weeks(we're dec 22nd, holidays), no extra fees just a signature
