Crucial is currently offering free shipping to Canada, via Fed Ex for a limited time. This means you can get, say, a PB 128 stick for $65US, and only pay shipping (as opposed to $209CDN at a local shop). Good deal, no?

Sounds good. $65 US would be about $100 CDN. Add the GST and$5 handling fee for collecting the GST. It would come in about $112 CDN. Much better price than I paid the my 128 stick this week. I paid $159 CDN GST. Just make sure it has a lifetime warranty.

Also confirm if there any any brokerage fees or not with having it shipped Fed-Ex. With some companies the brokerage fee is very high. ie $30-60 CDN. The $5.00 handling fee I quoted is what Canada post charges for collecting the GST.

check the second url: Fed EX first class has "no" brokerage fees. I recently found this out myself, but not through crucial (Transintl). WIsh I'd waited for this deal.
