DIY Cable Supplies

We strive to be competitive with non-Canadian Internet dealers on the total transaction cost. Keep in mind that:

• We charge in Canadian dollars. Foreign suppliers charge in US dollars and credit card companies will typically charge 2.5-3% premium on official currency exchange rates.
• No Canada customs to deal with for duties and taxes (HST or GST+PST), in addition to the $8.00 customs handling fee. See the following Canadian Border Services Agency link for details.
  • We only charge GST for Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The CSBA is authorized to collect the PST as well for these provinces.
• Our trackable shipping for tonearms in Canada is $15.00. You will typically pay $40.00 shipping from foreign sources for the same quality of service (and most likely a longer delivery time)..
  • Personal pickup is available for those in the vicinity of the Greater Toronto Area..
• 3% discount for Cash payment (including Money Order, Interac e-mail transfer).

Assuming $CDN1.00 = $US1.00. The $US490.00 tonearm ends up costing an Ontario purchaser $614.95:

 (490.00+40.00)*1.025*1.13 + 490.00*1.025*0.13 + 8.00 = $614.95

With our competitive pricing you may end up paying less for the same item.
