Shipping to Canada?
ToNIX:
Is there anything we can do since amazon.com won't ship to Canada?
Obi110 is in stock now, but I have a feeling I'll have to wait for the next batch to figure something out.
"We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order by changing its quantity to 0 and clicking the update button below."

there was a post on SD yesterday from someone wanting to sell their Obi110. Perhaps they will ship to Canada.

jimates,
Nice, but hardly what we need for dependable distribution here into Canada.
I saw that there is an Amazon.ca which delivers to a Canadian address. They don't list the OBi device on the Canadian site, as far as I can tell.

I think I offered the fastest available option. Normally I would offer to buy and ship but I am pretty much tapped out right now.

ToNIX,
If you don't mind paying twice (Amazon+ 3rd party shipper to Canada) for shipping there are services like the following which offer solutions for situations like this. For a 1lb package it costs about $30 to ship to Canada from Florida according the this website. Where in Canada do you want to receive this OBi?

I found rate from $5 to $32 shipped to Montreal at shipito.com
Just so you don't get surprised. When you receive the package you will likely be asked to pay GST taxes, and a fee for clearing customs. I was shocked to find hat I was charged $50 to clear customs when I purchased my OBi. I since found out that the least expensive way to ship something to Canada is to use regular post. You still pay the GST, however the customs clearing forms should be about $25.
Are there other Canadians that can share their experiences when ordering products from the US?
jimates,
I was just pulling your leg :)
