My friend bought a Nook and imported it into Canada with this service and spoke highly of it. Basically I'm in Canada and don't want to wait a ridiculous time period for my iPad, so I'm thinking of importing. This service seems nice and ships internationally.

I especially am considering this as with the MacBook Pros, Apple doesn't seem to realize that we're on par with the American currency now (higher, actually) as Canadians. I may even save money doing this. (Or lose like $10 for saving 6 weeks of agony.)


According to their shipping estimate (I think the box is 3.3lbs and I live in Canada) it estimated $47 charge in addition to the tax.

Is there any other charges I should be watching out for? I should be looking at … ($829 with 13% tax + $47) … $983 CAD, no? No little surprise costs?

So can anyone speak for this service? Recommend it? What if I wanted to buy a case too?
