Any Canadians Order A Model D From Concept Ii?

[[old] xdarrylx]

I have plans on finally biting the bullet and ordering myself a new Model D<br />since it is inconvenient to have to head onto campus everytime I feel like<br />rowing or want to train. Since I am in Ottawa Canada, I was curious if anyone<br />else had experience (in terms of cost) ordering from the Concept II website<br />and what the final duty/border charges were once FedEx dropped of the machine<br />on Canadian soil. So far I know I'm looking at <b>$905.00US</b> (including shipping),<br />which will set me back about <b>$1,078.98CAD</b> (according to www.xe.com) and after<br />that I'd just like to know what the additional bill will look like when it arrives from FedEx. <br /><br />I know the Concept II website has some <i>rough</i> figures, but I wanted to know<br />first-hand what I'm looking at paying, since I'm a student, and as per most of us,<br />budget comes into play...that and Christmas is around the corner so I'd like to<br />get a fairly accurate idea of exactly what I'll need to shell out for a new rower! <br /><br />Obviously I'd love to find a used one, but they are so few & far in between, and<br />after trying all kinds of rowing clubs here in Ontario & Quebec, searching eBay,<br />and local classifieds, I've come to the conslusion that this is my best bet! <br /><br />If anyone has any other leads, please let me know...and as always, thanks, <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Darryl

It was delivered by UPS. The additional bill was $244.39 CAD: $178.19 in Government charges (PST and GST) and $66.20 in Brokerage Charges. The exchange rate at the time was 1.3456.<br /><br />

I went to Fitness Depot in Edmonton and told them I could buy the rower direct from concept's website for a lot lower then the 1598 they were asking. They came back with 1300 plus gst which I figured was worth the little extra since if there were any problems I could take it back to the store and I didn't have to wait for delivery.

That would have been preferable as my PM3 broke. However, C2 sent me another as soon as I notified them.<br /><br />C2 direct or shop ... either way in Alberta there's no PST <br />

I bought my new Concpet 2 from Fitness Equipment of Edmonton for 1350.00 plus GST, that was the lowest price I could find adn I think that was very reasonable!
