Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
I've ordered and cancelled mine from expansys, mobilecityonline and amazon. All 3 have changed/extended the stock availability multiple times and I had to make sure that I'll get it before Xmas. I ended up ordering it via puremobile.ca and I should be receiving it within a week.

It's from canada i'm pretty sure cause they even charge the 5% tax (at least trying with a QC postal code)

681.45 $ CAD total shipped...
(to Montreal that is, maybe you will pay a 2nd tax, they probably are located in BC?)

I just talked to a customer representer from newegg.ca,
She told me that the items will ship from their US warehouse, with UPS. BUT she told me it's 100% sure that there will be no extra fees upon shipment of the package (when it arrives to your door). The brokerage fees are included when doing the payment :)

Do they use UPS ground, UPS express, UPS Worldwide express?

If it is UPS Worldwide express no feess except gst/qst
if it is other you will have brokerage fees
Trust me for that you only pay once to remember how it work

After checking their website it seem it is not ups worldwide express. Give a call to UPS and they will tell you, it is UPS that will charge you directly.

I have just received an external hard drive I bought from Newegg.ca and it was shipped from the US to Alberta using "UPS World Ease". I didn't have to pay any brokerage fees, so I would think the same would apply to the N900. In fact, I think I'm going to order now. :-)

Well, I have doubts too, but I asked the lady 3 times and she told me 3 times that no matter which ups shipping method you will take, you will get NO extra charges. I asked her if I am 100% sure that the total I'd have to pay is the amount indicated on checkout, she told me YES. If I order, I hope it is true. Sending back and paying restocking fees on a device that price would cost a lot of money ;)

I said the samething when I order. I know I paid a bit high but the difference between the high and the price is like going to a show 100$ ticket well when you receive it, it will be like a show... better now than sorry.... more wait

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
Those who ordered via the online Canadian retailers, please post here what you paid and if you ended up paying more than what you paid on the website (brokerage fees, etc.), if that's ok.

A guy at expansys said their price already included tax and brokerage fees, but I've gotten burned with mobile city online's surprise $100 brokerage fee when I got a phone from them sometime ago.

So far, SN Traders seems to be the most reliable in terms of actual pricing, plus they offer a bit of a discount for in-store pick up.

Did you order express or just priority?

Some people were saying that express was more expensive but in the end you might pay less cause it includes brokerage fees.

You pay brokerage fees and Canadian taxes on packages that are sent from US stores, for example Mobile City Online. You do not pay taxes on their site, you pay them when the package arrive (use USPS/Canada Post for a much lower brokerage fee).

For Canadian stores (like newegg.ca, even though they're shipping from the US), you pay the PST and GST directly on the site when you order, so you won't have any surprise charge at arrival.

my friend got his MCO order today with 0$ fee... I'm just hoping we don't get a mail later on with a bill!

did you paid 627US or CDN?

me I paid 720US-50US(from nokia) so 670 shipping included for GST/QST I arrange with the ebay seller so he wrote 250$ value so I paid tax on that amount so 32$ +5$ proces from Canada post office (brokerage fee) Total 707 USD.

R-R 2009-12-09 14:07

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
Here it was 579.99 but took the 60$ express shipping ... so 640 $ USD.

Do you think i can sell my 50$ Nokia's rebate to someone in the states?
(for 40?)

Btw, i see a lot of Montrealers here, we could gather in the other thread.

As for myself in MTL I'm ordering fro MobileCityOnline who are hopefully getting them by November 20.

We could also just have a Canadian thread we are like less than 10 in the whole Canada that will have the N900 it is almost like a Banana Republic!!! (3rd world country that is not abble to have a descent phone)

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
Oh man sorry to hear about that extra tax, so you did get screwed on brokerage fees?

Enjoy the phone though, people around me still look at it in awe.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
News here, for guys near montreal, www.cellengros.com has the N900 for 729, I juste wrote to them to know if it's including taxes. If yes, it would be great :)

Hi every body I have finally just receive my phone. Extremely exciting moment as we waited, waited and waited. Has I mentionned I have bought thru Ebay. I have carrefully selected the seller wanted a 100% feedback (ebay) so I got a phone that was bought directly to The New york Flagship Store. The phone was very carefully pack in a gift bag with a gift receipt for warranty purpose. The phone was sealed new so everything 100% perfect. With seeing the phone on my computer and some people where saying it is big well I find it very small and if I put it beside my treo pro you don't see any difference in size unless you check very carrefuly. I guess I will have a hard day today to do my work and not try that phone. So all of you I wish you get your phone fast because it is like waiting over 3 months to get and when you get it really cool. Just can't wait to play with it has I am at work. Good luck everybody

Can you tell me if your having an issue with the SMS time, for some reason two times show up when I send an SMS. I can't seem to fix it, I'm on the Toronto, Canada time but seems to show 5 hours behind when i receive an SMS, when I send one though it shows the correct time.

Just wondering.

Also I think I do need to replace my SIM card, sometimes I feel like its worn out and this phone can't read it sometimes especially using the Edge network

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
Best of luck to all of you. I'm disturbed though, I went through this for the 770, the N800 (didn't end up getting one) and the N810 (got one but it's collecting dust). Each time the price rockets upward and the co-ordination of distribution and situational awareness fall further.

There's no way in hell I'm carrying a phone in my pocket that costs $700. To be honest, I'd rather just have another subsidized smart phone and a netbook and spend the remaining $200 at a bar.

I'm happy to see the product line grow up having been around since before the 770 was released, but I still have personal concerns that it's not as polished as it could be. Let's be honest. They're going up against Apple. I really hope half the stuff in the apps section on maemo.org doesn't still require hitting up the command line to get it working.

Anyway, again. Best of luck to you guys. I think you're nuts buying a device for that much when it won't work to it's full potential but obla-di-obla-da.

Cheers,
Hedge

I think we're just forward thinkers, we know AWS is coming to Canada, we're just waiting for it now, and plus it still is a nice overall device, for now we just have to wait a bit longer to download a web page.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
Kudos to you, JD2010, as it seems the effort you put into buying one on ebay paid off.

If I may ask, how much did you spend all in all?

I got mine shipped to a buddy in the US, who was supposed to be coming on the weekend... but he decided to come early, so now I have to wait a week for him to go back and pick it up! :@
