    Buy Xenarc from Canada?

    Does anyone know the best way to buy a Xenarc Screen from Canada?

    Buying directly from Xenarc would cost me a arm and a leg so im searching the best way to get it...

    Whatever you chose to buy from don't select UPS standard as your shipping method because of excessive brokerage fees. I might suggest USPS Express mail because it's the cheapest for you to import with a much lower brokerage fee. We offer USPS Global Express mail on the mp3car store.

    Heya I'm looking to buy one too. I found only one place- AVdeals.ca

    I've never dealt with them and can't find any accounts of bad or good experiences online. I emailed a guy awhile ago about a xenarc they didn't carry and got pretty poor service from him- told me a brand new product was discontinued 4 months ago- just too lazy to look it up I guess. Hope he wasn't indicative of their overall service.

    The prices are very reasonable. I'm considering a 10.2 and it's about $611CDN shipped I think.

    Anyways, like I say- don't know anything about em other than it's cheaper to get a xenarc from them than ordering from the states. Anyone have any experiences to relate?

    And yeah if you go through the states USPS is the way to ship. UPS will bend you over.

    Don't mess around and get it from the MP3Car store. I bought some pieces here and there to save a few dollars where I could but the hassles outweighed any savings I may have had. My MP3Car orders were smooth and fast. USPS Global Express is much cheaper and usually faster than UPS to Canada -- plus no surprise brokerage and handling fees!

    UPS to Canada =

    MP3Car Store =

    Heh. Just figured out the difference between the two and assuming the shipping calculator is right on mp3car (no extra charge- is that right?) it's actually cheaper by about 8 bucks for a 1020tsv from mp3car because there's no GST. Cool- I'll do my measurements and order it tonight if it'll fit... I need my power supply anyways

    EDIT; I screwed up- its about 15 bucks more with shipping... Ima do it anyways probably... I think MP3car will look after my *** a little better.

    OK, so here would be a good option... Now my concern is about estimating the total cost for me...

    Here my command (added a PSU because i need one) ...


    Can someone give me a idea of the final cost in cnd$ shipped in Quebec ? It does'nt have to be at 1$ close...

    No GST on mp3car but you will get charged 7% GST at the border plus a $8 handling fee...
