Jamie, I posted on the other thread about doing the same or crossing the border myself do get the same receiver. Do you mind if I ask what kind of deal Next best thing (there website says $1779 so i can't imagine that is the deal you were talking about. Just PM me if you don't want to post. I am...
I already went to the CCRA site. I can't remember where I saw it, but it does say that you have to pay GST and duty(if it's just a one or two day trip). Also, you may have to pay PST as well, it wasn't that clear about which situation you have to pay PST. In any case, in the end, what you don't...

You have to ask expensive compared to what? At 1700 Loonies plus tax regular price, i think this is a steal and hope it holds out until I get the chance to buy my receiver this summer. I don't know about shipping and taxes from J and R but when i did the order process through Etronics it came...
I have begun searching for an AVR-325 and was also thinking about buying from a US etailer. If you look on HK's website you will see "J and R" listed as an authorized etailer. This means you can buy from them and still have a warrantee. Coincidentally, J and R's prices on the AVR-325 & 525 are...
