Anyone from Toronto, Canada?

I'm looking to buy a small accessory for my PDA (Ipaq 3970) but seems the only avenue available is a US vendor or Ebay seller, from the US no less. Customs Canada are populated by morons who know nothing about computers, evident in their decision to charge me $25 dollars for an item I paid $10 for (ata66 card). They ruled that this product was $120Canadian, though a quick check shows the retail is $50Canadian.

Well, I'm done trying to get merchandise from the States due to the idiocy of customs. I'd appriciate it if someone knows where I can score a usb cradle/cable for my pda locally.

Thanks

Try Staples.

I think Office Depot is the Canadian equivalent. I've actually found one on Ebay for little next to nothing, but those bastards at customs may do their thing again.

Well looks like they sell iPaqs but not accessories. How lame is that? They have plenty (4-5) cables/cradles for Palms, but no PocketPC style ones.

Try Compusmart or some of the larger camera stores.
