I just noticed something interesting. On the American Amazon site, items that are sold by Amazon are not sold by Amazon if you go to the Canadian site. Ex:

http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Battery-Charger-3-7V-7-4V-Lenmar/dp/B00CBO5AA8
http://www.amazon.com/Wasabi-Power-Battery-Charger-EN-EL15/dp/B009DJ1THW

Change .com to .ca, and it's a 3rd party seller. Why is this? Is there a way to get it through amazon anyway, like some 3rd party broker service that will order it from the US site and ship it? It would be faster than waiting a couple months like it takes with most Amazon 3rd party sellers. Why do they take so long anyway? Even ebay orders that come from China usually only take 1-2 weeks.

Different warehouses, different distributor deals, licensing, government regulations, etc.

Amazon.ca has long been inferior to the US site. Doesn't look to be improving anytime soon either.
