And if you order from the US, watch out for Canada Customs - they'll rob you blind. Softhut did an exchange for me (already paid customs for the thing) and Canada Customs opened it up and charged me again!


Too right. I ordered a 4 mb PCMCIA memory card I wanted to use with my Amiga from the US and paid $5 for it. Not only I was charged $12.50 for import duties by Canada Customs, but it turns out that the card isn't PCMCIA at all...  :-(

Looks like one but it's basically useless. But that's not what makes me angry as I was prepared to take that risk, it's the import fee I had to pay.  :pissed:

I already requested a refund but I don't think I will get it.
