When I saw the shipping of 267$ could not believe it. Not sure if it’s the Canadian Gov. and the levies it imposes or US, but the country closes to US has the biggest shipping fee. Ridicules.
Just to give you guys some idea. To get the phone to Canada it costs 663.49USD. When you do the conversion it costs 843CAD. That’s almost a weeks worth of pay for me. Not to mention there probably will be other fees when I have to pick it up. Anyways, if you’re in UK or US or Canada have a look at www.puremobile.com. I ended up buying through these guys. It’s not the fully unlocked phone (like Gooles) but it will do. And I payed 609CAD. I would be interested to know why it’s so expensive to ship, anyone that has insight please post.
