Yeah I had heard it was this Summer sometime, but have not seen any recent word on that.

Maybe you should PM NeweggSupport, he may be able to help you.

Indeed he is, seems to be a pretty helpful guy from what I have seen in the past. Search for him and you will see.

If you live close to the US boarder you can have it shipped to a friend you have in the US and have them give it to you.

hopefully it will be sooner rather than later but just shipping across the border is not as easy as it sounds, especially since the canadian mkt is only 15% of the US at BEST. Some companies dont even see it as worth going after

i didnt get mad. i just dont like NewEgg. i would rather support a canadian company and pay alittle more then support an american company to save a few bucks. NCIX is where i got most of my stuff

2 days shipping from Vancouver to Montreal, for 6-9 bucks is hard to beat ;) (ncix)

Yeah I'm a huge fan of NCIX now. Ordered pretty much my whole pc from them and picked it up at the store only a couple of days after ordering :thumbsup:

I found the pricing to be pretty decent as well.

the thing i dont like about NCIX is that its like they have one employee writing the info on the products and the rest of it is all WIKI format.

You can't compare the amount of selection you get at newegg to what you have at NCIX. Not to mention the prices...

NCIX does price match =p Their selection isn't bad either. I've found everything i was looking for over there.

i find NCIX great. and Newegg just bothers me. when a company gets too popular they tend to get a god complex like Dells which is why you have crappy service there. Its only a matter of time before Newegg starts to fall in service performance IMO

Hmm, I have always had excellent service from Dell, some of the best in fact.

It would still be nice to have more options for supplies up here, be it Newegg or someone else.
