You can buy G-K gear at any Long & McQuade store in Canada. If you don't want to buy from them, then I suggest that you visit the G-K website and click on dealers, international and you'll see a list of their dealers in Canada.

Hey TD, thanks for the reply,i know i can order
from L&M they tend to price US MSRP=426+13%
taxes=481 CDN,however ordering from US based

googling came up with Music123 ships to Canada,

If you are near Michigan, you can always take a ride to Guitar Center on the East Side of Detroit and be your own shipping company. Alternatively, Guitar Center will also do phone/web site orders and they might ship to you.

No, I don't work for Guitar Center.

If your in the 705 go with L&M. Once you pay duty, exchange, tax, and shipping, you end up with a higher price and more hassle.
Also if you need to return it L&M are so cool about that.
I don't work for L&M.

Agree. Ordering online to save a few bucks is hardly ever worth it in the end. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches by just forking over the cash and picking it up from L&M. Plus then you eliminate the wait, and can be playing it by tonight.

Clearing your own stuff through customs will cost you either $100 for brokerage fees or a day off work at.....

You'll also have to consider warranty issues and possibly international shipping for a covered repair.

If the cost difference is huge then it works but if its fairly minor then best to buy local.

L&M gives you 30 days to return anything you buy from them. If you're not happy with the amp once you've had a couple of weeks to use it, simply return it to them for a full refund or credit, the choice is yours.

FYI after just checking the G-K website, it would appear that L&M are the exclusive G-K distributors for Canada.

Specifically that would be Yorkville Sound ('same thing in practice) who also handle G-K's warranty and repair work north of the 49th'.
