RE: [Thinkpad] Surprising price diff between IBM Canada and US

I sent a ThinkPad to Canada about 9 months or so ago. The unit sold for
US$120 and shipping via UPS was roughly US$25.00. The guy receiving it was
charged roughly C$60.00 (at least that was what he told me) duty!

Thanks for the suggestion Bruce, and it might have been true in the
past, but I'm pretty sure if I buy from the US I'll just be paying
sales taxes (so must IBM be).

BTW, my posting to the list hasn't shown up here, is that a new
configuration?
