gx640 best place to buy for canadians?

hey guys im new to the forums i recently decided to sell my gaming desktop because i dont play games much anymore and want to purchase a laptop that can somewhat game.

the gx640 is the most appealing thing so far (price/performance wise) but i was wondering whats a good online vendor to buy from if you are from canada. do you get charged custom fee/taxes when purchasing from us vendors?

thanks in advanced for the help i appreciate your inputs.

 

NCIX.com? perhaps

 

ncix for ontario, pccanada for anyone not in ontario I think (avoid almost $100 in PST).

You get charged the full GST+PST+HST (where applicable) if you buy from the states, it's really annoying. No customs fees on tech, though

 

The 3 best priced places I've seen are Greytech.com, NCIX.com, and PCCanada.com. Greytech tends to be cheapest (shipping incl), but their site is a bit harder to get around.

 

I was pricing one out, and Gentech (even though a US seller) seemed to be the best if you wanted to customize the hardware a little. I put in 6gb of RAM and changed the proc. and it was cheaper than xotic. With the dollar at par, I don't think going to a US reseller would be a bad idea.

Otherwise I recommend NCIX.com very highly. I bought my G73JH from there, ordered it on a Thursday and had I been home it would have been delivered the following Monday (instead I had to pick it up on Tuesday). I live in Alberta, so it was sent from BC. They also pricematch if you find a cheaper price.

 

I live in Ontario and chose Gentech because i wanted it upgraded. Import duties are equal to the taxes you pay here anyways so you just need to worry about shipping

 

guess im just gonna buy from ncix that way no 8% pst and crazy international shipping rates. thanks for the inputs

 

any canadians looking to buy, PM me. I have some helpful advice that probably should not be posted here

 

i cant whisper..... send me a email at ranawayz at hotmail.com

 

Another Canadian here and I just pulled the trigger on one of these bad boys too although I ordered mine from www.provantage.com. Yes it is a US company but they still offer their standard 30-day return policy to international buyers on this laptop which makes me feel better about buying a laptop sight unseen.

 

Canadian here. Still looking around at retailers for best prices!!!

@Paulzors : When you receive it, could you post how much it did cost you with duty - shipping - taxes ?
Thx

 

their price is quite a cheaper than most, i wonder if ncix will pricematch them

 

I am also looking at picking up the GX640 and pccanada has it for $1197 after all taxes have been applied (no PST in BC). Which is about $150 than NCIX than NCIX (before price match).
