There could be a nice profit to be made.
Robert,
[1] This is a good opportunity for arbitrage on your part. If you are
really serious, do it! I know people who buy electronics, send the
merchandise to friends in the USA, and then pick them up. Now, these
people I know live close to the border...
[2] I don't recall any Americans complaining about how much cheaper it
would be to buy CAD at $1.50CAD/USD and buy their Lee Valley toys in
Canada at the time we had a 66-cent dollar. The exchange rate sword
cuts both ways.
[3] If you really wanted to save some money, you could do what I
recently did: I submitted an order to LV, got 7% off, and free shipping
as well. Of course, this deal that got last Saturday only works if you
were in the Toronto area this past weekend.
