How do I buy from Canada again? for OBI202
Trev:
Indeed with the newly designed store the free shipping is gone but the prices are also lower. If you order multiple units, the savings start to add up.

Amazon.com was to offer International sales to Canada. I was told this direct from OBi by phone, that they where to instruct Amazon to offer the service, this was a couple a months back. This is ONLY Amazon direct, this was because OBi wasn't geared up to handling International orders themselves.
But I see that Amazon still only offer Domestic rates. Either I was lied to or their communication when wrong? I must say the OBi employee on the phone did sound very sincere.

Hum, not sure about the prices being lower. Before the change, the OBI202 was 89.95, with shipping included, before tax.
Of course the product price is lower, but the total price that the consumer will pay is higher now.
If you take the (new) lower price of the OBI202 for exemple, combined with the cheapest shipping we get 94.17$, before the taxes. A 4.48% price increase, for me if I want to buy one today.
the biggest price increase is by far the OBiWIFI. It was 32.50, shipping included. Before taxes. I know I bought one. Now with the new way it's calculated, it's 44.17 before taxes. A 26.42% increase in total price, for me if I want to buy one today.
Conclusion: there is a price increase, but still cheaper than Amazon.com... Until they allow shipping to Canada. :-X

Thanks for the feedback.
Digital Conceptions is going to review the pricing later this week and take selling performance into account. I can tell you that that pricing is lower for BC and AB buyers, since shipping is lower as well. The pricing is also lower for anyone who purchases 2 or more products regardless of their shipping address.
The OBiWiFi, when ordered by itself at the previous price, was selling at a loss due to the high shipping costs, so it's not likely to continue selling at the previous price.

If I buy through Amazon, the only items I can get in Europe are the 100 & 110 from the UK and so they have the wrong plug & no, they won't supply the appropriate plug. I cannot buy from Amazon dot com because they don't deliver OBi's to Europe.
I operate a voip service and have started using OBi's exclusively. I have been looking to try out the 202 and associated wifi & bluetooth add-ons but I can't get them here. If I could get them from Canada, I'd have the same issue with plugs plus I'd have around €50 added as import tax making them VERY expensive.
Whilst I think the 100 & 110 are great, I feel somewhat let down by OBi because of the above issues.
