    I was just wondering if anyone knew what the difference between the S1 Special, and Standard Build are?

    For the same config for both, there was only a slight difference in price so I was just curious as to why?

    Thanks

    Hi, the S1's have promotional pricing, otherwise, they are identical - in terms of specs / features - to the regular builds. :)

    Thanks for the reply.

    I live in Canada, Ontario, is there a guide to see how much the final price after, shipping, brokerage fee, and so on?

    I have some other questions, would it be better to just send a email or just post here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, if you select UPS Expedited or Express, your total is the notebook price plus shipping plus your local GST/PST/HST. If you select UPS Standard, you'll have to also pay a brokerage fee, which can be as high as $100+ - so it's better to get Expedited or Express Shipping.

    Also, we can give you 40% OFF these shipping services for being an NBR Member. If you have any further questions, please contact us in PM or through our site - thanks. :)

    Depending on where you live, yes - you will have to pay GST/PST/HST to UPS since UPS will pay these taxes (on your behalf) to get your package released from customs.
