I've seen a couple on amazon.com but they don't ship to canada and I'd much rather be able to pick it up in store.

Canada
I went to their FAQ section and found this:

Question

Do you ship to Canada?

Answer
"We do offer shipping to Canada. Please add all the items you would like to order to the shopping cart and input your postal code in order to generate a shipping cost and a standard transit period for the items you are ordering.

Below are some additional information regarding international shipments going to Canada you may reference as well as refer to sites such as www.thefinalcost.com in order to get an estimate on these import costs.

Fees for Canada orders.

Brokerage Fees

The brokerage fees are a processing fee charged by the shipping company. This fee includes filling in a customs form to indicate the contents and value of the shipment and calculating duty and taxes.

UPS

When UPS Customs Brokerage handles your imports, there is no Entry Preparation Fee for routine customs clearance of UPS Worldwide Express Plus, UPS Worldwide Express, UPS Worldwide Express Saver, and UPS Worldwide Expedited shipments, including up to five classification lines. Charges may apply for more complex customs clearance procedures.

USPS

For USPS, goods valued under 20 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. Goods over 20 Canadian dollars will be subject to the applicable duties and excise taxes. Gift shipments received by mail that are valued under 60 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. For all casual and commercial items valued under 1,600 Canadian dollars, Canada Post will collect the assessed duties and excise taxes and a handling fee of 5 Canadian dollars from the addressee. For Express Mail International items, the handling fee is 8 Canadian dollars. All commercial mail items over 1,600 Canadian dollars will be held by Canada Customs and Excise until proper invoice and accounting documentation is provided by the addressee.

Taxes

Each item entering Canada will be charged GST (General Sales Tax) and PST (Provincial Sales Tax - varies by province) based on the declared value.

Duties

Under NAFTA, items that are deemed manufactured in the US (and Mexico) are duty free. A duty (percentage) may be charged if the item is manufactured in another country.

*Monoprice will not declare any false indication on the customs to avoid or reduce these fees.


Hope this helps?? I have a couple of their products and they work very well. Good luck!!!
