discussion Newegg Canada vs. US

Part of the so-called Canada tax is that we're a big bloody country with 10% of the US population. Our population centers are spread much farther apart, and freight costs are ridiculously high compared to those in the US. People also tend to forget there's customs and duty costs associated with importing items from out of country.

I'm not a NCIX employee, just pointing out some reminders. Canada is an amazing place to live, but we pay for that privilege.

I don't agree, there are 4 major centers of population in Canada and they are all within a few hundred miles of the US border. I blame this Canada Tax on the bad dollar and the high taxation of a Socialist government.

Doesn't matter, even if you can buy from USA variant, your gonna still get hit with taxes... fees, and possibly hit with import penalty....

Hence the importance of using a package place and brining items across the border yourself- I've yet to be charged anything on US purchases.* Sadly, Washington state now charges sales tax on Amazon purchases.
